"78# Stool" 2000
24.5" x 17"dia
Poplar, found spring, milk paint.

Made for a stool show at the Tercera Gallery in Palo Alto,
this piece was purchased by a proctologist who just loved
how the whoopee cushion felt. Even better was the fact that
the doctor just happened to be an avid collector of stools.

  
         
 
"Bench With Two Stones" 2000
19" x 21" x 66"
Koa(wood), poplar, milk paint, concrete, found steel

This piece plays with one's perceptions, as the wood stones seem to almost float when handled, since a person expects them to weigh considerably more.
