Disintegration
I created this piece in memory of my grandmother Francis Orlando… my father’s mother. She was diagnosed with and suffered from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. I remember her slowly deteriorating over time until she lost all control of her muscles and bodily functions. She died when I was very young. It was purchased in 2005 by Charles Olsen and sits in his private collection.

Entomological Dangler
Kinetic sculpture created for the March 2010 Five Ton Crane group art show at the Warehouse 416 Gallery. Sold at silent auction into private collection.
