KINETIC/SOUND SCULPTURE
TIME HARP
I made this for the for the Garden of Memory event at the Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, Summer Solstice 2008. It is a harp controlled by motion sensors. When they are triggered, they grind plasic coffee lids into stretched nylon strings. I also used it for the Time Sensitive Materials show with Bodil, September 2008.
MONORAILS.
There are two of them. They traveled along a string that was suspended over a three-story space and amplified. When they encounter the railing or each other, they reverse direction. I made these for the The Garden of Memory, Summer Solstice 2004
CRANKS
I made these hand-cranked instruments for theThe Garden of Memory, Summer Solstice 2005. The volunteers who helped with the performance became the Crank Ensmble
WARTOYS
One person show at the LAB, May 2003. I built a 30 ft. bamboo airplane. It had "engines", which were sound-generating machines controlled by motion sensors and amplified.
CROW
Installation at the San Francisco Art Institute, 2003. It was an ornithopter using a bike wheel that miraculously had a song within it.
ORNITHOPTERS AND LITTLE WALKERS
An online gallery of work from the one-person show at the Randall Museum, San Francisco, June through October, 2000.
