Trantler (Tree + Antler)
June 2020
Reclaimed Wood, Bronze
12.5 ft x 4 ft
Gearhart, Oregon, USA
The name Trantler is based on combining two predominant elements in Gearhart: the wild elk that roam the region, and the timber industry that has been a cornerstone in the Pacific Northwest since 1848. Oregon is one of the world’s great tree-growing areas so it comes natural to celebrate its contribution to the state’s economy as well as the majestic beauty of its forests. Additionally, the elk herd near Gearhart has become quite prevalent - growing from about thirty a decade ago to around one hundred and twenty members today. Both the timber industry and the elk herd have been sources of discussion within the community. The conversation regarding the environmental impacts of clear cutting versus its potential to diversify the local ecosystem is in debate. Concurrently, the dialogue around the elk herd being a charming attraction as opposed to the wild life creating safety issues still stands strong. This sculpture positions itself as an unbiased piece of artwork, aiming to observe the challenging aspects of human’s relationship with nature, and to promote critical thinking towards the connection between preserving our planet and protecting a healthy economy. The goal of the project is to bring residents and tourists together in hopes of more interaction and collaboration between each other and foster unity by showcasing varying ideologies within a community in a peaceful manner.

virUS
Public Installation, Video
April 2020
100 Clay Roof Tiles, 1 Sledgehammer, 1 Pick Axe
10 ft x 50 ft
Los Angeles, California

This installation was a collaboration with artist Adam Guy to create a large scale installation in support of our global fight against the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The goal of this piece is to express humanity’s strength and resilience to the global pandemic, but not without the truth that accompanies it: fear, anxiety, grief and more. Clay tiles are frequently used as roofing on houses in Southern California. Listed as a give away on Craigslist they are a perfect symbol for the significance of “Home.” Lining up the tiles like dominoes, we spelled out the word “VIRUS” in 12 ft. letters then proceeded to crush the first three letters of the word with a sledge hammer and pick axe - leaving the remaining part of the word as "US.” We then documented the process via photography and video. Both of us live alone in our art studios/warehouse across the hall from each other and had been self isolating for four weeks. With social distancing in place, this installation let us share the frustration of our challenges creatively while conveying that we are all in this fight together.
