Collaborations
Collaborative projects provide the opportunity to explore avenues that would be difficult to develop alone.
When exploring modern lighting techniques, fire and flame effects, video and architecture, I seek a strong sense of design, form and function.
I have highlighted two collaborative projects.
The Copper Gazebo provided an opportunity to work with another Atlanta blacksmith, Corrina Mensoff. Together we created a copper clamshell roof that was supported by hand forged steel lemon trees with brass lemons.
For the past few years I have been collaborating with
Joe Martin in San
Francisco. Merging his high-tech background with my traditional blacksmithing, we created
Pupula Arboretum, a contemporary interactive sculpture that blends
video, LED lighting and robotics, a commission for the Jacksonville Museum
of Modern Art's 2005 exhibition "Activating Spaces: Sculpture
as Environment."
