Rusted Steel Garden
The concept of layers or sections cut through a landscape was also explored in a series of steel sculptures. In this 2'x4' piece, rainwater weathers the contoured plates and creates the sense of a mountainous landscape in miniature. Much as the process of weathering creates the irregular forms of rocks and mountains in nature, over time, rust decays the edges and surfaces of the steel plates in this piece and slowly blurs the line between the man-made and natural object.

Light Sculptures
Steel rods are bent and welded together at multiple intersection points, then wrapped with hand-made paper. The nested layers of paper filter and reflect the light emanating from the fixture at the form's core.
