These are two 30" spheres I built from recycled pipes and square tubes.  One is suspended from above and the other is perched on a ledge 10 ft above the floor.

This was a project for a client that owns an apple orchard.  Her well pump had to be relocated at the entry to their house, so she asked for a steel cube to hide the pump.  I embellished the cube with an apple branch, a steel sphere (apple), and stainless steel behind the cutouts.  It it also meant to serve as a pedestal for a large planting vessel.

This is a project in a home near Donner Lake, California.  The piece is composed of 4 36"x36" squares that are mounted above a hearth.  It is scaled map of Donner Lake and the surrounding mountains cut from Corten steel.  Each square weighs approximately 100 pounds.

 The piece is comprised of 8 identical shapes that come together to create a sphere.  It is a simple and elegant sculpture that works well on a bookshelf, or even in the landscape (I make them up to 4 ft tall).

"Nutsphere" just didn't sound right for this piece, so I asked people on facebook for their ideas.  The piece weighs about 20 pounds and is made from reclaimed large nuts.  Here are my favorites: 

 -"Socket to Me"

-"Nothing to Sphere" 

-"Fear Knot" 

-"Holes in One" 

-"Deathstar" 

-"Screwball" 

I designed and built the water feature in the background and the fire feature in the foreground.
