If you, then I
If you sniff and daydream; suspend belief; jump and remember; peek and wonder; consider then remark; identify yourself under the sheet; think of two things at once; disrupt your assumptions- then I have succeeded.

Burden
I’ve got all of these phrases running through my head about burdens and not being given more than you can handle. I burdened this tree more than it could handle or at least it must be close to the threshold. I was so excited about the formations that I didn’t fully consider the destruction to…

Still Sprinkling
The piece is still in progress. I am currently worried about the tree branches which seem to be really struggling with the weight of the ice. In some places the icicles are getting close enough to the ground that I am hoping they will begin to support the burdened branches. The bush is also quite…

Sprinkling, Freezing and Crashing

Double Dutch
This is a mock up for a piece that I have been trying to realize for months. For now the jump ropes are attached to the wall and the mechanism is being turned by a hand held drill. There are a few aesthetic things to figure out here, but I am pretty sure I will…
