selected project

The Bethel Woods Art and Architecture 2024, outdoor art installation at the Woodstock historic Site.

The Pen is a 36-sided tridecahexagonal cylinder constructed from recycled materials. Rising from the ground as a striking, multifaceted sculptural form, it doubles as a sunken seating area that encourages interaction and contemplation. Visually and spatially, it aligns with a second 36-sided platform across the field, which functions as a stage. This thoughtful pairing creates a dynamic dialogue between form and function—inviting gathering, performance, and reflection.
