Cincytech Innovation Hub Offices
Protein Architectures
In Progress Installation for the Cincytech Innovation Hub Offices
Inspired by the molecular architectural studies of Marcos Novak , I proposed a 2-D sculpture based on the covalent bond architectures of proteins. The structure emulates the protein's hexigonal design and was executed in 1/4" metal rod, joined though welding. I came up with the idea of recreating the protein, because in many ways they serve a similar purpose to Cincytech. Just as individual proteins are the building blocks of all life forms, so too is the seed money that Cincytech provides as building blocks of innovative companies that it funds.
Camp Sculpture Park
Shape Grammar of a Pyramidal
Funded by the DAAP School of Art
This installation was a collaboration with photographer and digital media artist Megan Ward. It began as a series of studies exploring shape grammar with pyramidals (Below). 1/4" rods were then cut to size and welded using a crude, wooden jig (Above). We then created a site specific installation at The Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park using the individual pyramids.
Shape Grammar: The principle of architectural design that involves repeating a shape in 2 or 3 planes to create new surfaces and objects.

The
Problem
How do we build a site specific installation without having exact measurements of the site. And how can we transport a 6ft sculpture without renting a truck?
The
Solution
Creating a modular sculpture that could be transported and assembled quickly and easily by a team of two.
