Poppy
A four legged beast with a central body and feelers free to swing in space. When landscaping is complete the suspended section will be within visitor reach, letting them bring the sculpture to life. Leaf shapes at the top are fused glass provided by Kelly Howard and Kerstin Hilton, who worked with me to bring just the right flash of color to Poppy. Commissioned by Lincoln City, OR for the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Second video is from the dedication, shot and built by Richard Wright of Future Post Media.
