Star Spinning Through Spring

“These smaller sculptures are finished pieces in their own right and are also studies for a large scale installation. I am exploring the linearity depicted in my large scale ribbon installations in a new medium. The thin steel piano wire (similar to the satin ribbon) trembling in the air currents adds a kinetic element to the sculpture and makes a lovely tinkling sound that conceptually connects to the materiality of the piano wire.”
