“The Evolution of Flora” is a kinetic steel-fabricated sculpture, and was installed at the Performance Arts Center in downtown Colorado Springs on 6/25 as part of their yearlong 2009 11th Annual Art on the Streets Exhibition and Competition. It was my 1st year participating in the event, which boasted its largest number of entries and the highest caliber of artwork from Artist across the country and abroad. “The Evolution of Flora” won the $5k 3rd place prize, and was the only out of state artwork to place. This piece is currently priced at $17,000, and available for purchase. Interested parties can contact me at anytime, or call the Downtown Partnership at (719) 886-0088. Offers will be considered.

Kinetic Sculpture: “The Evolution of Flora”
06/04/2008
(Update: This piece has been selected to participate in the 11th annual “Art on the Streets” competition in Colorado Springs this summer. It was one of 13 works chosen this year from a record number of submitting Artists from across the country and abroad. The opening reception is scheduled for 6/26/2009.)
This sculpture was entirely hand formed and fabricated from just a few of the most basic steel elements, those being steel sheet, rod and pipe. Standing at about 11′ tall, as you move up the undulating trunk it diverges into two large branches. From these branches emerge a number of smaller branches that move outward and support both leaves and large “flowers” that also resemble propellers. From these branches, all of its “flower-pellers” spin, and its leaves flutter, in the slightest breeze, (as the “flower-pellers” are balanced and spin on bearings, and the leaves are hinged to their respective branches).
