The Rubble Series is an ongoing collection of abstracted representations of wildlife assembled from concrete rubble, salvaged steel, hypertufa, and other found objects collected from Atlanta‘s roadsides, rivers, creeks, and streams..... The Rubble Creatures feature abstracted, open forms with lots of negative space. They are sketches of full creatures, ephemeral beings that play with the viewer’s perception in a similar way to the natural camouflage of living creatures. (You may not notice them at first tucked into a grotto or shady alcove, but once you see them they are obvious). They are minimal sculptural forms and encourage some imagination to be used to see beyond the rubble.

Suspended from a discarded root ball (I am often inspired by other’s yard trash), I propose to create a bird tornado made of wood veneer birds. .....
The root ball and the birds bring air and earth together. The tornado - often symbolic of a cycle of chaos and destruction takes on a new meaning and purpose in the Preserve. It is no longer in control but sways with the breeze and succumbs to the atmosphere and the creatures that encounter it. It nurtures instead of destroys.
