MECHANICAL DRAWING - Maquettes- on site works

---

A drawing of a site-specific proposal for the Swiss Alps by building a support structure to reinforce avalanche walls with a series reflective panels opposite a structure of color that could be seen the opposing mountainsides.    

Proposed as a new energy source using wind driven solar panels that rotate in a 360 degree movement picking up both wind and solar power 

My work is about constructed problem solving. A complicated idea revolving around capitol punishment.  I was thinking about  a humane way to deal with criminal executions. I personally disagree with capitol punishment. In an effort to designed a prison that would solve the problem. There are 3  layers of translucent herculene showing  the outer section and the interior sections of the spiral system with 208 jail cells. The prisoners move up the spiral ramp to the top. The last cell is number 209  with a 360 degree view of the outside  world. I was directly  influenced by the last scene of the movie "Soylent Green".    

Proposed a wall site-specific sculpture on the outside of a building using translucent plexiglass mirror panels would pick up reflective light. The viewers from inside the building could see right through the two way mirrored panels piece. The mirrors themselves would pick the moving imagine of the clouds passing and variety activities on the street below.    

Ball proposal:  installation for 15 steel spheres 

into a room at P.S 1 in Queens ,  New York by using a single steel cable to lock them in a room.

Proposal for an architectural installation of 10 - 8 foot steel sphere on a wedge shaped  sideway held in place by steel retainer structure on  a contemporary art museum in Chicago.

This drawing is a part of a series of drawings and sketches for some my on site installation and at galleries or museums.

An original drawing for Public Art Program for  percentage art fund  for the city of Seattle, Washington. To design "art  gate" of the new bus station. The balls would roll off each other and support the gate as it would open and close. 

An experiment in depth perception using two rooms at P.S. 1 where I had a studio in the late 70's.... creating the illusion two spheres of two different sizes from one room to the next. 

Another experiment in depth perception using a site-specific work in the late 70's.... creating the illusion two spheres of two different sizes . Placed on a constructed abstract steel I-Beam to distort the illusion of how the spheres ( one 6'-0 and the other 10'-0 ) sit in the well of the I-Beam . 

A  land installation using  six foot hundreds steel spheres that would refine the surface landscape.

A series of seven  36" steel spheres held in place by concrete casting holding them in place in a straight line.

I did a number of on site installation bring a variety of found material a museum or art galleries and use the outdoor space that was available to me.

I made a lot guerrilla installation during my time in New York City.

Idea for chain locking two 48" polyglots spheres to a vertical  I-Beam post

Designed as a water tower that is connected to a power supply building, The drawing  is four layers of translucent graph paper  which aided in drawing the intricate construction of the support structure  for the  sphere.

I proposed a series of it ideas using the World Trade Towers in an effort to create monumental architectural floating aluminum rings that would float up and down using the vertical sheer force of the wind striking the towers 1982.
