INVERTADUDE
333 Halstead Ave Chicago IL, USA
Chicago Sculpture Exhibit 2020-2021
INVERTADUDE
2020
This nearly twelve foot, 750lb concrete sculpture sits on the corner of Halstead and VanBuren in Greektown Chicago, with the Willis Tower and West Loop skyscrapers in the back ground. Invertadude is a contemporary piece that takes us back in time when carving figures in stone was common. He strikes a casual unassuming pose but on his head as if the world doesn’t matter. Our upside down world is a place to invert troubling thoughts as we adapt to our changing times.
LADY OF THE LAKE
Greektown Chicago IL, USA
Chicago Sculpture Exhibit 2019-2020
Public Sculpture 13' x 11' x 7'
The inspiration for Lady of the Lake comes from the beauty and strength seen in many modern day SHEROes, also known as our lady heroes. Lady of the Lake leans into a common directional wind flow while balancing on her rock. Installed in 2019 as part of the Chicago Sculpture Exhibit annual exhibition, she resides on the corner of Halstead and Monroe in Greektown, Chicago IL USA through May 2020.
THE HELPING HAND
Palmer Square Chicago, IL USA
Public Sculpture 9' x 11' x 7'
Permanent installation in Palmer Square Park, Chicago IL, USA. This whimsical oversized hand and insect was designed for the City of Chicago Park District’s Tree Project in 2018. As a member of the Chicago Sculpture International group I was invited to sculpt a tree in the program highlighting a diseased Emerald Ash. The tree was infested with the Emerald Ash Borer larvae many years ago, died and was trimmed down to it's main trunk at 20ft.
The concrete sculpture consists of an oversized, grasping hand (11 foot long) emerging from the ground at the base of the dying tree. Just above the hand is the adult emerald ash borer also sculpted using concrete & copper.
