The Feather

The Feather is my debut sculpture design, after spending four years designing themed climbing walls in the active family entertainment industry for a company called ClimbZone, and almost twenty years painting public and private murals for my own business, BB Murals.

It is a direct response to the years of representational work I’ve been doing.  I wanted to create something that was not based in reality, had no reference point and seemed to come from a different planet.  Something unique.  Something that came from inside.  Art for art sake.

 The Feather, as I’ve been calling it for short, is wildly popular and consequently has been selected for temporary and permanent exhibits in 31 states since it’s debut in early 2019.

Tree Branches

Tree Branches is another adaptation of the Feather design, although more complex as I stray from the singular post and add “branches” sprouting from a main “trunk”.

In keeping with the Feather panel style, I use geometric shapes lined in black, with fields of swirling and fading colors inside.  These colors repeat themselves in a kaleidoscope fashion, emanating from the center of each panel, and are symmetrical.  They have a strong tie-dye or wax batik look.  A very organic and psychedelic feel, warm and inviting.

Magnify

This interactive, kinetic sculpture acts as a giant magnifying glass, except sunbeams pour through the colored lens as the viewer swivels the rings into position to catch the light, casting a stained glass reflection on the ground, or anything else it hits.

Made from Plasma cut 1/4” steel plate and a 1/2” thick piece of circular, clear acrylic with designs directly printed on using a large format flatbed printer, this piece is sturdy and meant to be enjoyed outdoors by the general public.

Magnify instantly becomes an education tool as it demonstrates the concepts of transparency, light reflection and refraction, even the physics of mobility with it’s rotating top. 

It immediately draws the viewers attention begging to be touched and handled.  A strong addition to any temporary or permanent sculpture collection!

Icosahedron

Icosahedron, or 20-sided shape, celebrates the mathematical beauty of the Platonic Solid Family. They are displayed, almost floating, in a 2” square tubular steel, octagon frame standing 8’ high. The form itself spins when provoked, adding to the excitement and wonder.

Available themes include:

The Elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water)

Retro Space Junk

Design / Fabricate / Deliver / Install

Artist Statement

Since 2019, after I began competing nationwide for art opportunities, and after 20 years’ operating a mural business in the MD/DC/VA metro area, I have been selected for, designed, fabricated, delivered and installed public sculpture and murals in 36 states so far, with budgets ranging from $400 - $250,000, and everything in between.  I enjoy experimenting with new materials, learning about best practices from other, more experienced artists, and challenging myself with even larger and more complex projects.

Besides my insatiable desire to design, fabricate, deliver and install art to the public…

wherever I can,

whenever I can,

as much as I can,

the following poem best describes my interest in public art:

 

Open love letter to public art:

 

What I love about you, public art, is that you are meant for everyone

You require no entry fee, cover charge or special invitation.

Set free from the galleries, museums and private homes of the past.

You're out there, in the wild, unapologetic, yet vulnerable, and for everyone to see!

You must be strong, durable, able to withstand all types of weather, public scrutiny and the test of time!

You can be interactive, kinetic or stationary, and come in so many forms,

In all shapes and sizes.

You invite discussion, and bring the world of visual arts to people’s everyday lives.

For all these reasons and many more, I will adore you for the rest of my life!

 

Hopelessly smitten
