Distance Plaza Sculpture

Medium: stainless steel on concrete
Size: 10 ft h x 70 ft w
Location: Oregon State University Track,
Corvallis, Oregon

This is a 70 foot sculpture of steel running shoe soles showing the unique wear patterns on the soles of different runner’s shoes. The wear patterns came from the shoes of distance runners reflecting their individualized wear patterns on their soles of the shoes from training wear and tear and competition. The shoe print sizes are determined by the actual sole shoe size of the runners. These uniquely individual stainless steel shoe prints are installed on concrete walls. Visually impaired people may trace the patterns with their hands.

Crop Rotation

Mixed Media Interactive Sculpture; Metal, Kodalith, Acrylic, Wood, h 19″ x w 14″ x d 12″. Viewer can turn the picture by turning the handle. This shows the natural change of angles and perspective that occur in a cyclical system.  

 

The work is comprised from photographs of land looking down from an airplane.  I then manipulated the pictures with collage and drawing before making a Kodalith. Viewers can then further the manipulation of perspective by  turning the handle repeatedly.
