Like three-dimensional drawings these shapes evolved as I built them. The constraints were created by the materials and the means by which I built them. Miniature Lumber, a mitre box, glue and a very small saw.

As I made this I was reminded of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, and some of the structures described in the book.

This makes me wish to build it large enough so that adult children could climb on it and drink exotic beverages under the balcony lights.

a stairway to nowhere frustrates all attempts to gain access to the old children's room where a light bulb hangs from the ceiling and the crayon drawings are still visible on the wall. Topped by a screened-in moth penthouse that is only accessible by flying insects.

the beloved building that was the LIRR power plant, is no longer. I made the model for the NYNYNY show at fluxfactory. The light inside glows and dims over the course of one minute.

This tower lights up and glows, then goes dark over the course of one minute. In this piece as in a few others, the light source comes from within. I relate this to my photography in the sense that these pieces emanate light, while the photographs collect the light that is already there.
