Artwork
This is the intersection of two hyperbolic seven sided shapes. It hangs above your head and changes shape as you move.
Commissioned sculpture for Richard and Lisa Baker. The linkage of motors & motion sensors resembles a live organism.

Artist's Statement
My artwork physically tracks human behavior and traffic patterns using quasi-scientific, homespun, reactive sculptures. I use sensors to pick up on people’s energy and movement throughout a space. My work exists as amplifications of this subtle energy, creating unconventional, complex portraits of people and spaces.
The work functions in a way that is similar to many quasi-scientific devices like aura cameras and mood rings. The realization of each piece inevitably sets up a study. Action within the sprawling electronic systems of brains and guts creates a force to react against as the piece simultaneously responds back in a cyclical, chaotic nature.
