The website is under construction, as it always will be, I reckon. But I'm working on a few things: I've been creating some flag pieces as well as a giant map to assist with the identificiation process, and you can see all this at flagthousand.com; I'll be making another Dandelion for a hip new housing development in Des Moines called Ponderosa Village. I've also begun planning a new tour for 2009, you can take a peek at the site I've set up to outline the project for city planners and grant propsals - Crystalake.info But if you're unfamiliar with my work, I suggest starting with Well. A lot of my work continues what I started with this piece, using perspective and personal experience to reveal something special about our worlds and our perception. The perspective pieces only align when the viewer is viewing the piece from a particular location. Sometimes I have a subtle way of indicating this location - for instance, in Well, I had a high chair sitting in the middle of the field. But many of the works are not indicated by anything at all, for many the spot is designed around foot traffic or driving vehicles, so that the piece comes together and falls apart with our movement. Then there are the touring works, such as the ones below, where the view is from atop a ladder, where I photograph the portraits below. As of yet there are no permanent versions of the pieces below, where viewers and participants could stand atop a permanent platform to view the piece, and also stand within the piece, taking their own portraits of friends and family inside of these pieces. This ultimately, is the goal. |

The highlight of this excursion, for me at least, was Redlake. The desert is simultaneously delightful and terrifying. We only spent a few days out there, but it came together on Saturday night, and this photograph was taken the next morning:
The desert is a place where i would like to spend more time! A wind surfer recommended this desert to us while we were in Primm, Nevada, he likes it because the wind rolling off the surrounding mountains reaches 20-30 MPH. We didn't like that part so much. It also turns out that this is the location that some of the scenes from Mars Attacks! was shot. When I first began to envision this trip, I imagined this place to the "T" - this location was my ultimate goal for the tour. The pipes had a little trouble shooting into the cracked earth because of the pressed point that I machined into all the pipes, which helped a lot for going deep into moist earth, but it caused the earth to crack further in this case, a problem which didn't occur with uncut pipes, the round end just cut a perfect circle in the earth, something I'll have to remember.

Keyboard shortcuts are the best way to browse this site. Plus, you can use them on any other website, too! With these shortcuts you will be able to increase and decrease the size of the text, and you will be able to quickly move back and forth between pages. I find that it helps with viewing the hundreds of text links I have on the sides of the pages. MAC: PC: CONTACT 2734 Charlotte St., Studio 1N |
