Description
This view presents a contextual setting for the outdoor sculpture, Valley, which consists of an inverted, concave cone that hovers just above the ground amidst four unfinished boulders. The convex base of the cone hangs above it, off to the side, and it appears to double as an awning for the entry way to the Food Innovation Center.

Biographical Information
For the Food Innovation Center I have installed two public art projects; an interior installation on the west lobby wall and an outdoor piece on the north corner of the plaza. Both of these pieces contain sculptural elements that not only refer to the context of the facility but also reflect the Oregon landscape. They not only compliment each other but also respond to the architecture of the Food Innovation building. The spatial arrangement of the interior installation, “Preserved,” contrasts with the grounded and contained nature of the exterior piece. Using a repeat pattern, sculptural images seem to float across the lobby wall. Glass
