In 2005 Tom Sachs wanted to create a sixty foot whale for his show at the Prada Foundation. I made the whale (Balaenoptera Musculus 2006) for him in Italy with the awesome team at Modelleria Angelino.
In 2007 I made a series of outdoor sculptures for Tom Sachs. The originals were made by me. The bronze reproductions (& fountain construction) was done by Arizona Bronze. *I loved this project!* I love that they were public pieces that everyone could enjoy & I love that some of them are fountains. I always feel good when I’m near a fountain.
Thank you Tom! Thank you for trusting me with these pieces. I hope they live for many years & bring joy to many lives. I will not forget the work & those who helped make it happen. I’m grateful. -Xo!

This was a 2007 Spring campaign for the Sony Style stores across the United States. Selected Sony products were cut of out felt by hand and photographed for graphics. “Spring Never Felt So Good”
The window below is a Sony Holiday window I made for Sony’s Madison Avenue flagship store. The photo has busy sections and blurry spots because it is in motion. There is a moving conveyor belt with stockings & gift boxes attached to the ceiling.

This hanging mobile is a 60 feet tall. It was created for Ann Taylor’s flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City. The mobile is made of pink flower petals & several thousand feet of rink ribbon. This special installation was for a Breast Cancer Research Foundation fund raising event sponsored by Ann Taylor.

In 2002 I spent an entire year (-well, a little more than that…) making an aviation series for Tom Sachs. On the list was a Concorde, DC-10, Boeing 747, Boeing 767, and the Challenger Space Shuttle (-named The Crawler by Tom). The Crawler took months to build and had many hands that helped. It is on display at the Utrecht Centraal Museum in the Netherlands.
Out of all the work I did for Tom (-and all other clients), the aviation series gave me the most injuries. Burns, bruises, stitches ..& scars that still remain. I was very into the idea of making these pieces. I’ve always loved planes & birds. (-What is better than flying?) With any job worth something, you accept the risks. I have no regrets about my scars. I’m happy to have been part of this work.

This resume is from 2003. [Click ---> *!*HERE*!* <--- for resume. If you need to enlarge it, just use your 'View' pull down menu on your web browser.] The weird white section (under my name to the left) is my address & phone number blocked out. This resume does not have all of my work listed. It was used mainly for the film & television industry, so some of the fine art & corporate installation work have been removed to save space. I haven’t updated this resume in many years because almost all of my work is through referral.
This is a smaller view of the resume. To see a larger view, click on the HERE link listed above. Thanks. -Xo!
