Icebreaker
25 pounds of
sugar cooked at varying temperatures. It's basically made out of candy, salt,
egg whites, corn syrup, cream of tartar, powdered sugar, blue food coloring,
india ink & flour.Three days of cooking, and two weeks of
building.


Everything
We Ever Were
It took two
months to store up enough fireplace ash to create this lunar landscape. The
darker rocks are made of mixed tilegrout, flag crumpled paper and wire. The
Earth is a video stilllprojected onto the wall. Inspired by the Apollo 11
mission.


Tornado is made of steel
wool, cotton, ground parsley and moss.


Paprika
Mars
Made out of 12
pounds paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder and charcoal.
Breaking
Point
Volcano made
out of tile grout, cotton, phosphorous ink. This model volcano was illuminated
from within by 6-60 watt light bulbs.


Salt
Water Falls
Model made out
of glass, plexiglass, tile grout, moss, twigs, salt, painted canvas & dry
ice. The waterfall was created from a time exposure of falling table
salt.


Fields,
After the Storm
This model is
simply made out of faux fur(fields), cotton (clouds) and sifted tile
grout(mountains). The perspective is forced as in all of my images, and the
lighting effect was created by simply shifting the white balance.



Aurora
Borealis
This one was
made by photographing a beam of colored light against a black curtain to achieve
the edge effect. The trees were composited from life ( so far the only real life
element in any of these images) The stars are simply strobe light through holes
in cork board.

Waterglass
Mountains
This one is a
mixture of many different materials, tile grout, moss, bottle brushes (pine
trees) Actual clippings from ground cover and was built on top of standard
outdoor patio table (water glass). The sky is canvas painted blue. Coloring was
again achieved by shifting white balance.


Planet
This was
another experimental view of Mars. The materials are paprika, cinnamon and chili
powder (planet) and coffee and sugar (starfield) were sifted over the floor of
my studio. The planet was photographed from 12 feet in the air. Although it
looked cool, I abandoned this flat method of modeling because in the end I felt
it too illustrative next to all the other landscapes.
Wildfire
Diorama made
from wood, moss, yellow glitter, clear garbage bags, cooked sugar, scotch-brite
pot scrubbers, bottle brushes, clipping from a bush in bloom (white flowers)
clear thread, sand, tile grout (coloring), wire, paper and alternating yellow,
red and orange party bulbs.



The
Beginning
Ground made of
parsley bush clippings and moss (trees) Tile grout (mountains) & cotton for
clouds in the distance. Dry ice was used for the atmospheric
perspective.
