By using six species of wood veneer, a pixelated gradient is created that moves up through the dome from dark to light. This is conceptually intended to mimic the natural aging characteristics of materials that are exposed to the elements. In this way, the object seems as if it had always been in this place – an artifact that has been preserved by the surrounding building.”
“Roots of Knowledge is a stained glass masterpiece that measures 10 feet tall by 200 feet long. It is 80 stunning individual windows, that tell the story of Humankind accomplishments. Within the windows, there is over 60,000 pieces of cut glass, hand-painted glass, blown glass, and artifacts, like seashells, coins, fossils, and jewels.”
“My concept was to add the feeling of a natural experience to this magnificent exterior space. One of the largest Natatoriums in the west, the Plunge is within a quarter mile of San Francisco Bay. I used nearby Miller Knox Park as the model for the painting, adding wildlife from the area from reference photos I took there.”
“Visitors to the Baccarat Hotel in New York are greeted by a shimmering wall of crystal, made of nearly two thousand illuminated Harcourt glasses. Each iconic 1841 glass, the oldest piece in the Harcourt collection, is lit by a computer controlled LED fixture. The lights are perfectly tuned to mimic the warm glow of candlelight. Throughout the day, the wall displays imagery evoking the Baccarat Art de Vivre. Flickering votives, delicate plumes of smoke, and faceted geometries recall intimate dinners and late nights.” https://vimeo.com/203894095
