My photo
For the last several years my sculptural work has become largely kinetic and interactive. It is often witty, profound and provocative. Much of it seems to exist in the realm of the unlikely. These days, my mind is in a whirl, trying to understand how to make very complicated things appear to be smooth, slow and coordinated.

OPEN STUDIOS WEEKEND in SoWa



One of the remarkable things that happened this weekend took place when a family arrived at the gallery mid-afternoon on Sunday. I was introduced to a former painter who had lost her sight several years ago. With her permission, I slowly walked her over to one of the kinetic pieces and ever so gently placed her hands in mine and over the the piece named "Daedelus." For a while I sensed that she was seeing the wheels, the moving parts and the paper wings as they moved under her delicate touch. I am not sure about what she felt, but I do now that only rarely have I been so moved . . . Thank you for enriching my life.
