Facewall is a 42ft wide stainless steel sculpture integrated into the façade of the new arts and humanities building on the Chico State campus.
Animal Eyes are placed throughout the garden of the Berry Center. By looking into the eye of an animal, you see from its point of view.
14th St Overlay is a public sculpture that’s part of the 14th Street Initiative in downtown Denver.
Thought Balloons Located at the entrance to Stapleton’s new Recreation Center, Thought Balloons creates an interactive dialog with people as they wait for others.
Staplefield acts as a dynamic model that mirrors the state of the building and its occupancy.
