An artist celebrated for meticulous experimentation in furniture, sculpture and recently eyewear. the following page features several recent projects, from a newly finished conference table to smaller object concepts.
This 24' long conference table is made entirely in solid Mahogony, Walnut, and Stainless Steel. Suspended by a series of wing like trusses, the table tops appear to be flying along with the birds that hold them up. As the heads of our birds are popping up through the middle, they are a perfect mix of obvious but subtle, and fall right below the sightline for uninterrupted conversation.

A 10' diameter dining table, cleverly connected by a covey of quail. Designed for 16 chairs and compelling conversation. The piece is full of hidden hardware components, which has become a commitment of mine to make it as curious as possible as to how it was built. To level the table and connect the birds to the top, there is an entire mechanism trapped within the body of the bird, that can only be accessed through a very small hole when the plumes are removed.

This is a scale model for a current commission, where I am creating a large cabinet with opening wings and concealed shelves. I have been working on being more mechanical as my work evolves, and am incorporating gears and milled aluminum parts to achieve motion.

A small surrounded bowl. This is one of those pieces I find it hard to part with, and believe it will stay in my collection. I dream of making the motif in to a much larger version to be used as a bathtub. An interesting fact about this piece is that during its completion, my warehouse was broken in to, and the thief decided to steal one of the four birds. I replaced it, but will always wonder where that fourth bird will end up and live its life. Maybe someday you'll find it.

This project has unironically opened many more doors for me, and has served as a perfect magnum opus to bring more work like it. Built a few years ago for an apartment complex, there have been several commissions of similar work as well as a current commission for another exciting, possibly more mechanical version for a great home in Los Angeles that I am working on now.
