Option #1,   Interactive “Village Tree” on the wall with additional elements nearby.  A tubular steel tree form with wood and polished metal panels and transparent paints over iridescent surfaces. Hoops can be spun, leaves swing back and forth in a pendulum motion and sections can tilt slowly. Hidden activators can move birds and animals high in the branches.   

The following artworks demonstrate elements of what I would bring to bear on this commission

“Juggler” at Kaiser Permanente Lone Tree CO.

“The Seed”

Children’s Hospital of Colorado, Anshutz Center. “Sky Writing”

“ Tree of Knowledge” Bemis Library.

“Heart Wall” Broomfield Health and Human Services.

“Journeys from Center” Denver Public Schools, Emily Griffith Campus, Denver, CO. Blue transparent films allow light from above to shine through.

Like raindrops on a pond. Rippling circles expand overhead…

“Journeys“ is activated by students in the lobby. A performance piece in the lobby of the huge building on Lincoln St. in Denver.

Option #2 An overhead, moving sculpture that is brightly lit by reflective light. It glides and reacts to the input of the Medical Center visitors by touch from a sidewall activation device or is electrically moved by the input of motion sensors that read the presence of the people in the room below.  Delicate and gentle motion is desired in both cases. The artwork overhead is a source of light and color and an interaction between the building and its visitors.

“Happiness Runs” Bison Ridge Rec Center, Commerce City, CO An overhead performance piece with great character.

Happiness Runs is a circular parade of 9 unique character elements acting together in a play of light and color. Note the blue activating cylinder in the far corner, safely out of the way.
