Public Art
I have been working in public art for many years. I have designed, fabricated and installed many large scale works around the US and Asia. Part of my career in the last 20 years has been working in collaboration with other artists in public art. I formed a 6 year partnership with Derix Glasstudios in 1999 to generate and manage an extensive range of public art projects, usually fabricated in glass and steel.
I typically manage most aspects of these projects including building sample panels, presentations at finalist reviews, fabrication, interpretation and funding. I am always the main liason with the architects, engineers, interior designers, maintenance staff and usually the public art group. I perform all installations and am highly experienced with acquiring and operating every type of equipment, gear and tool for this work. Projects with my involvement that I do not manage almost always mean that I complete the installations, particularly the large, scary and high altitude types.
