Wild, Heterotopias Augmented Reality installations reflect thriving garden and newly built architecture around the HighLine. These augmented orbs transform our experience of space and time, juxstapose nature against bare walls and sky, based on Sadé's photographed of the High Line gardens (designed by Piet Oudolf). They create a mirroring world, a journey between imagination and reality on separated levels. Sade’s work speaks to land, nature and metropolis through 3D photographic sculptures. https://www.codaworx.com/projects/wild-heterotopias-related/
Viewers approaching and passing this roundabout in Carmel, IN see three, steel flower-like structures with curvy stems. They face south, northeast, and northwest. The composition is raised well above the roundabout, making it easily visible to motorists; the tallest is more than thirty feet high. As viewers circle the form, its flowers’ undulating stems seem to make the sculpture come alive. At night the structure displays a delicate, multi-colored play of lights reflected in the undersides of the seven hundred and sixty-eight stainless steel florets, which form the three flowers. https://www.codaworx.com/projects/beacon-bloom-city-of-carmel-indiana/
This group of sculptures explores the natural history of the area, presenting charismatic images of animals still widely present in Missouri. Beyond these three dimensional sculptures of thriving bear, deer, and turkey, silhouettes depict creatures eliminated through hunting or the challenges of evolution, such as dramatic climate change. The silhouettes are scattered, disappearing into the bordering forest, evoking a world of creatures once numerous, fading out into the distance across time. https://www.codaworx.com/projects/missouri-evolution-lay-sculpture-park/
WE STAND TALL was created from a national competition to create a sculpture for Lafayette, Indiana. As a large-scale public symbol, it celebrates the Bicentennial anniversary of the state and city. WE STAND tall is centered Downtown in the city and is a visual celebration of Lafayette, its history, and more importantly its people. The words cut into the sculpture's body plates and the title were chosen by Lafayette’s underprivileged children. WE STAND TALL is a telling and somewhat inspirational beacon lit 24/7. https://www.codaworx.com/projects/5d4432ce482e6/
