PHOENIX RISING

 

Up • Phoenix Rising • Phoenix Favorites • San Diego Fire

"From the Flame the Phoenix is born anew, regenerated and evolved, a bright  being more powerful and beautiful than ever.  It rises, and in so doing, radiates great magic and light."

 
Phoenix Rising features new and exciting sculptures created in the past year, and highlights dynamic new projects in process.  The  Flame  sculpture was born as a concept at the beginning of this year and came into being midway, followed and accompanied by others below, and culminating in the San Diego Fire sculpture  Remerge

Phoenix I

12' x 6' x 6' stainless 2005

 

    

This is the element designed to accompany the San Diego Fire piece, and moves gracefully, oppositely with different angles making the piece look truly look like a phoenix rising.

Here, it is shown with a plain stainless matt finish, but is available with

colored clear coatings or over paint.   

 

Flame is the first of its kind. 

 

 

Tree of Life II: Communitree

Stainless with clear coat color, this piece symbolizing family and connectedness was created for the Tulsa Boys Home, and stands in the center of their ring of lodges.  It is 35 feet tall by 16 feet wide, and has three tiers of motion with many smaller moving elements, or twirling leaves.  First of this edition.

 

 

Starburst VGI 

A monumental and graceful version of the delicate original, this design was created for this beach front home on Long Beach Island.  Stainless substructure with brass and copper superstructure.  The copper is colored with enamel and a beautiful large glass teardrop shines in the middle.  18' tall, 10 feet wide and deep.  First of its kind/edition in this scale.

 

 

FishDance IIA 

This newest version of the Fish Dance series is extremely popular due to its playful dense motion and rich coloration.  It was a hit at Lincoln Center this year.  Mixed metals, I am also creating a 316 stainless version of it for a waterfront home on the Chesapeake Bay.

This version stands 12' and is 5' wide and deep.

Spanning 35 feet and rising to over 15 feet high, this creation will be multi-media with inclusion of glass, metals, ceramic and other materials in front,  and have kinetic elements visible through see through portions activated in rear. 

It is currently in process, and the stainless substructure is almost complete.  It will be installed in summer of 2006 behind the art deco style downtown public library.
