public art - Fort Worth, Texas
2025 installation
Marine Creek Parkway Public Art Project, Fort Worth, Texas
permanent, site-specific, outdoor roundabout sculptural installation

Curated by Iris Bechtol @irisbechtol - Alicia Eggert and I designed proposals for traffic roundabouts for the Fort Worth Public Art program. In addition to research about the city and assessment of the logistics of the roundabouts, we also considered the proposal guidelines that the sculptures at the “two roundabouts should tie into each other, connect without mirroring each other.”

public art exhibition - Johnson City, Tennessee

Forces of Nature: Blue Skies, Slinkys, and Hurricanes
Media: steel, blue PEX tubing, hardware, and artificial grass
18in x 63in x 63in 

Reminiscent of inner tubes easing down a lazy river or bean bags in a living room, these sculptures provide playful, unusual benches with calm grassy centers at the eye of each storm. Inspired by diagrams of hurricane development and the spring movement of the “wonderful toy” Slinky (as the longest-running jingle in advertising history so memorably describes it), this delightful installation features three circular forms that appear to be large Slinkys connected at the ends into rings and circling perfectly-maintained “lawns” of artificial grass.
