An extra special sneak peak entry.

I’m making a model of this. Originally, it was a group project and I was only in charge of making the terminus. Now, I have to recreate the entire experience with a model.

2″ = 1′ is the scale.

Try to imagine what you think my full model will look like.

Yes, I totally deleted my website.
One by one all the entries will return.
It is quite a load.

Update: 2009-10-29-1:24pm. Managed to find a MYSQL back up I made on 10-12… the kind people at freehostia (hosting provider) helped me restore it. Most of the entries have been restored.

This stone coffin captures three ounces water and allows it to be swallowed by the earth’s big belly. That’s why its called esophaguys sarcophagus.

I really like to rhyme.

Fabulous news! Vesper College has been accepted to this years Art Shanty Project!

Six of us will be working together to put together an abode that goes out on the ice. This is my concept. Gallimaufry means hodgepodge, a collection of unrelated items or a “junk drawer”. This is a hodgepodge of a classic one room school house, a wigwam, and an ice shanty.

Our finished project will probably look nothing like this.

[wp_cart:unfounded rounded sculpture:price:75:end]

This sculpture holds three ounces of water along a horizontally flat bamboo chute.

The sculpture is powered by small amounts of wind that movement of people in the room create, and the heat coming up from the candle.

The sculpture gently rotates, and the water drips to the floor. Flat becomes round.
