I absolutely adore this work. the concept behind the work is strong and the visual ascetics breath taking. I would love to experience one of your installations in person. Question. what is the process of getting the color in the plastics or do you use already colored plastics?

This work is spectacular and beautiful and embodies very much what art should be. I was however a little disappointed when I watched the attached youtube video, as I hear to often nowadays artists trying to weave in an environmentally conscious message. I'm an advocate of reuse and conservation, I just think it's a distraction from the perspective of the appreciator, who may be trying to enjoy the beautiful forms just the way they are.

It is a great thing that an artist can create beauty from the ugliness all of us contribute to everyday in our own way. The various galleries of the artist's website are well worth the trip as well.

really a good work of art suspended from top ceiling , the most charming aspect which interests me is the translucent effect of the work and the application of lighting , becoming the part of the art work
