Material shift in these works is like alchemy. A graduation of material from pure Volcanic Ash on the bottom to Quartz Crystal on the top. The material of this work can tell us as much about it as the visual quality of the form it has taken.

Movies have served as a huge inspiration in my work. I was particularly drawn to objects that became almost as important as the characters in the films. This is a Kuwahara BMX bike cast in Eroded Bronze with a traditional Patina. The bike was used as a seminal prop in the 1982 American Science Fiction film E.T. produced and directed by Steven Spielberg. To create this work I located one of 300 original bikes produced after the film as collectibles. The bike was disassembled and the individual components were cast and reassembled. My bronze works have often incorporated patinas that date to the earliest uses of Metal in sculpture, and seek to further complicate and collapse the relationship of my sculptures with linear time.

Between 3007-3010 I made a series of paintings of Altered Sculpture from Antiquity. The concept of a collapse in time is still present in a new series of Alterations of historical sculpture I’m working on now. This work is made of Quartz and Selenite crystal, the second image is a gouache on mylar painting.

This is a smaller version of the floor excavation. I added a glass surface so you can walk over the works.

I always look for iconic objects to cast, things I feel resonate beyond their original intention. I wanted to do cars for a few years and decided the first two that I made would be from my favorite movies. This is a Crystalized 1961 Ferrari GT California from the Movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The work is now in a collection that includes other cars by Artists such as Keith Haring, Richard Prince, Barbara Kruger and many others.

The Venus of Arles was discovered in several pieces in Arles in 1651 by workmen who were digging a well. The head appeared first, at a depth of six feet, which spurred further excavations. It was given in 1681 to Louis XIV to decorate Versailles. The statue was seized from the royal collection during the Revolution and has been at the Louvre ever since its inception. The Crystalized iteration of the work was discovered in 3020 also in Paris. Further examination revealed that the work had been restored to its original condition of discovery nearly 2000 years prior. It appears that some time in the 20th century, restoration occurred on the sculpture to bring it back to its original rough surface, untouched by the changes to smooth it out during the Renaissance.

This was one of the first crystal Basketball pieces I made sometime around 3008. I was struggling for a while trying to find a way to display the pieces. I tried on pedestals, on shelves, on the floor, nothing felt right. I went with a friend to see the Miami Heat and watching the players warm up the solution was so obvious. I made a custom basketball rack based on the ones you see on court before a game.

The
@dior mens jewelry team told me about this idea almost a year ago. They found some 19th century pendants that unfolded like a book. Their idea was to take the Crystal Eroded Sculpture I made of Christian Dior’s book and turn it into a necklace pendant that could be taken off and worn as a bracelet. The execution by
@yoon_ambush and her team, wow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

These paintings are part of a series I made 10 years ago that brought my work in conversation with Sculptural Antiquity. I have recently been granted access to an archive of molds of works from the

“For me this work is about a collapse of time. It also brings my Future Relic work in conversation with Art History. Although the subject matter is contemporary the texture and depth of the bronze reminds me of Rodin or Brancusi. So much of my work involves the popular culture of today however my education included all periods of Art history and I have always wanted my works to communicate with time”

Much of my current work is in three dimensional space, however I studied Painting at
@thecooperunion. Most of my earliest works used painting to depict imagined scenarios in which nature and architecture collide in a timeless image. There is a sense in the works that things are in a state of movement between construction and destruction. This same entropic ethos can still be found in much of my sculpture where time and materials play between the past, present, and future.
