Overview

Floating Figures is inspired by elementals in human form and behavior. Each playful figure has a questionable appearance of going up or down, diving or tumbling. Unique configurations and mediums (metal, wood, plastic, cardboard) can vary according to scale, needs and budget of each project.
Literally and figuratively each sculpture mimics individuals in a community, they are versatile and adaptable as they each assimilate.
Unification is implied while all ages and backgrounds, past, present and future are represented. Varied individuals and groups naturally align to create a synergy and Interconnectedness in the Floating Figure sculptures that equally honor and preserve.

Goals

The commonality and interconnected nature of humanity can be viewed in the Floating Figures Sculptures. Two or more figures makes an intimate conversation, three or more a family, whereas hundreds amassed create a cellular community, or a sum greater than it’s parts.

The overall goal of the sculptures is to recognize individuals as part of a larger organism which rely on one another to coexist in an infinite dynamic.
