These works engage directly with architecture, and landscape using articulated structures, modular systems, and material responsiveness to shape spatial experience. Each project is developed in dialogue with its unique environment, shifting with light, terrain, and the viewer’s movement through space.
Practice: Body, Mind, Soul (2013) Permanent public installation, Corten steel, Roslyn, NY.
Developed for the facility’s branding, this sculpture integrates living wheatgrass within geometric, layered forms of raw Corten steel. This design bridges the industrial with the organic, creating a balanced, evolving focal point that grounds the architecture in the space's holistic philosophy.
Collaborators: Iftiaz Haroon, Jim Battistelli for Peculiar Works
Live production shots from Spring Pictures of the Floating World, an experimental performance staged at the renowned La MaMa. My approach focused on creating a liminal, dreamlike space that balanced organic elements with rigid structural forms. Our team worked with bamboo and deliberate lighting to produce a dreamlike vision, grounding the performance in an atmosphere that felt both ancient and inherently modern.
Double Helix Form (2013) Welded steel and wood installation for Collaborative Concepts exhibition, Saunders Farm, Garrison, NY.
Inspired by biomimicry, this imposing form uses modular, jointed components to echo the logic of natural systems. Its anthropomorphic posture and rhythmic segmentation create a dynamic presence within the landscape.
Helix Form (2012) Welded steel and wood installation for the Collaborative Concepts exhibition, Saunders Farm, Garrison, NY.
An early exploration in articulated, biomimetic structure, Helix Form uses interlocking wooden segments and fabricated curved steel joints to create an anthropomorphic presence within the landscape. Its modular rhythm suggests movement, balancing engineered precision with line gesture.
This sixteen‑foot horizontal structure uses a long wooden beam anchored by welded steel to explore balance, weight, and groundedness in the open field. Its restrained geometry and low posture create a quiet tension within the landscape, suggesting both stability and the potential for movement. The piece reads as a hybrid of implement and organism, introducing a subtle, contemplative presence across the terrain.
In this work I am drawing on principles of spatial orientation and grounding, using cedar and steel to frame an open, geometric enclosure. Its shifting planes create a quiet architectural threshold, an abstracted shelter that evokes ideas of home, alignment, and a deepened sense of place. Positioned within the landscape, the structure becomes a marker of grounding, inviting viewers to consider how built forms shape our experience of belonging.
Water Tower Roslyn (1994)
Welded Corten steel 10 x 4 x 4 ft.
An early exploration in working with repurposed corten steel. This gestural tower of steel draws on the influence of abstract expressionist sculptors such as David Smith and John Chamberlain. Standing ten feet tall, the welded, folded plates emphasize immediacy, material presence, and the expressive potential of reclaimed materials. Installed for many years on the LIU Post sculpture lawn, the work was eventually removed without notice, echoing the quiet disappearance of many pieces from the original campus public sculpture collection.
