Both “Rib Structure”  and “812 Pennsylvania”  are sculptures created from materials found during a site visit at a project: re-bar, sheet steel, perforated steel, and a bike seat. “Rib Structure” was built from a single piece of 32’ re-bar, cut into similar links and forged into curvilinear rib components. These were gas welded to the spine, melting the steel into smooth joints and restoring the material continuity of the original piece of re-bar. “812 Pennsylvania”  uses the stem of a bike seat to anchor a piece of sheet steel and a piece of perforated steel in space; the piece was performed as a concept diagram for relating qualities of industrial space (sharp, abrasive, punctuated) with residential space (smooth, soft, continuous).
