Public Art Installation - Materials: Wood, Metal, Fire

More information
Over the past few years, the people of Minnesota, and the city of Minneapolis in particular, have been at the center of the social change that has swept across the country and around the world.
Covid has also cut a tragic path through the state of Minnesota.
Many people did not have the opportunity to properly mourn the passing of a loved one or even to
say "Good Bye".
The unresolved pain and sadness of the past few years continues to cause problems as the people of the city and state begin to rebuild their lives and create a new, better future, for everyone.
re(center)ed is intended to be a safe space where guests are encouraged to share their own story as the community starts to collectively heal and rid themselves of grief and negative energy.

re(center)ed
re(center)ed is a project with two main parts.
Part one of the project is a 42' long serpentine wall structure.
The undulating design of the wall creates bays of isolation, which allow guests a place for quiet thought and reflection. A ribbon of silver steel, visually, pulls together the hundreds of wooden contemplation placards that hang on the walls of the structure. The wooden placards allow guests to record their own individual stories of grief and sorrow.
Part two of the project is a release pyre.
The contemplation placards, containing the collective and individual grief of the guests and the community, will be removed from the wall and destroyed by flame in the pyre.
The upward drifting smoke, produced as the fire consumes the placards, will release the burden of grief and sorrow as the guests and the community become re(center)ed.

Totemic Shift
Totemic Shift is a large scale outdoor sculpture that explores the concept of change as it relates to the human experience.
Just as a tectonic shift moves pieces of the Earth in a dramatic and sudden upheaval, Totemic Shift is intended to alter the way people fundamentally view themselves and those around them.
Recycled cedar fence panels and sheet metal were used to create the 15' tall structure, which features 48 interlocking triangles that range in size from 50" at the base to 14" at the apex.
144 custom built sheet metal corner brackets and metal highlights on the wood reflect the light, which draws the viewer's eyes upward to create a sense of renewal.
At night, hidden aspects of Totemic are revealed as solar powered lighting illuminates the sculpture.
Overall size:
15' Tall
6' x 6' Wide at the base
14" x 14" Wide at the apex

Refilled
Refilled is a conceptual work of art utilizing over 1000 individual pieces and is made entirely of reclaimed materials.
The sculpture consists of a satellite dish receiving a simulated electronic transmission beam, which glows from a multicolored, interactive light source.
The 72" long freestanding beam is composed of several hundred interlocking prescription pill bottles of varying size.
Each individual pill bottle contains a unique modern relic.
Refilled radiates light that reacts to sonic energy, ambient sounds alter the color of light that is displayed.
Constructing the internal support structure from sheet metal and acrylic allows for experimental controlled-release illumination.
Refilled is mounted on a 36" x 36" base of stained black oak.
Overall size: 96" H x 36" W x 36" D
Refilled was commissioned by The Hennepin Theatre Trust for the Energy: Made Here Artist Showcase. For more information please visit:

Part two of the project is a water release cauldron.
The contemplation placards, containing the collective and individual grief of the guests and the community, will be removed from the wall and destroyed by water in the cauldron.
The swirling mixture, produced as the water consumes the placards, will release the burden of grief and sorrow as the guests and the community become re(center)ed.
