This is the Piece I did for the Herd About the Prairie fund raiser in Fargo. It is located at the Microsoft building in fargo. it was a colaboration between me and My Sculpture instructor David Swenson. The Bison is painted white to resemble the albino buffalo and on the bison are hundred of hole drilledto reveale the lights that are solar powered on the inside. The lights in the Bison represent the soul and free will of the massive mammal. The Bison is surrounded by metal bar to represent how the Bison is no longer able to free roam in north america. There is no clear coating on the metal allowing it to rust and drip down onto the bison slowing tinting the white into a light brown.

Camp Fire Tales

arion poitra — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 19:45:22 GMT

In this sculpture I used a feild stone as the base of the bronze eagleand the eagle is mounted onto the stone. The stands of the eagle are meant to be smoke and the smoke forms the image of the eagle. It was designed from the idea that all of our traditions are meant to be handed down orally and one of the many spots stories are told is around the fire.

Shape Shifter

The Shape Shifter peice is done as somewhat of an interactive peice. the sculpture is doneout of mild steel its an image of a head on a stand but there is no face. the ineractive part of it is when you look into the sculpture you see your own reflection and the sculpture shifts into your image.
