Red Pandas

2018

Bronze and Wood

5 x 5 x 4.5 inches

This miniature statue was inspired by a pair of sibling pandas at the Red River Zoo in Fargo, ND.
I was an intern at the zoo and was fortunate enough to work with these lovely animals (and others) while I worked there.

Mittens

2018

Wood, Hardware, Stain

11 x 30.5 x 20 ft

(as shown ~ variable [H 132 x L 360 x W 240 in])

This huge, elegant sculpture was the pinnacle piece in my BFA show during college.
What started as a project to see if I could create large foldable paws (for easy transport), evolved into a 30 foot giant feline modeled after our pet cat at the time, "Mr. Cat."
Unfortunately, a couple of months after this piece was displayed, our beloved cat passed away. And so Mittens became a sort of memorial for Mr. Cat.
