Large outdoor shadow sculptures worked by sunlight responding to the earth's tilt and shift, e.g.: 'The Serpent Bearer' Montclair University 1987. 'The Fountainhead' La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, CA 1988, 'Meditation' Louis Pasture University Strasbourg, France. 1996. 'Wings and Wheels' New Jersey Department of Transportation, Cherry Hill N. J. interior sculptures worked with spotlights projected onto abstract sculptures casting figurative shadows on to walls and floors. Models and sculptures where exhibited at Farideh Cadot Gallery New York City 1887 and John Gibson Gallery NYC. 1992. This work influenced another generation of artists such as Tim Nobel and Sue Webster. Member of the P.B.F.A. ISBN 0952780224 ART [British].
