Two Installations for a Technology Company With Headquarters in both Austin and Silicon Valley |
|
 |
|
View of installation in Austin, TX All of the sculptures in this installation originate from the Effigy Series. Each piece is unique and bears a likeness in appearance, personality, attitude, or expression to someone or something from the world as I know it. Currently, we are living in a very absurd world, so there are no limits to how these characters appear. |

California Road TripThe theme of the installation for the Silicon Valley location was California Road Trip. I did a lot of research to create characters and small narratives that would reflect both the spirit of the region as well as the road trip experience. Flying cars, Sparkle Bots, an Orange Juice Monster, wine drinkers, Yoga Dudes, local plants, a Sparkle Surfer, marine life, dudes on vacation, Happy Sunshine Dudes, kiddos playing at the beach, and eating lots of cheeseburgers and fries are just to name a few of the narratives in this piece! |

Template preparation in my studio. I gave each sculpture an exact placement, then created the actual templates from this composition |

California Road Trip Each custom wall mount is hand made and fabricated by myself. It takes me several weeks to complete the cutting, drilling, soldering, sanding, and painting of this quantity of mounts. |
