Crania Geodesica: Carkeek (Seattle, WA)  10 foot geodesic skull public art installation created for Center on Contemporary Art “Heaven and Earth VI: As Above, So Below” in Carkeek Park, Seattle, WA  (7/12-10/21 2014).  Made from over 700 sticks gathered in Carkeek Park.  The open frame skull symbolizes our physical state of being and impermanence in the ever changing world. It stands as a testament to the human experience while the surrounding universe flows through it, existing wherein physical and spiritual states meet on a perpetual crossroads to briefly exist as one.  Use of materials specifically collected from the area for construction further support the metaphor that the organized manifestation of the piece comes from & belongs to the environment that it exists in.
