Study for a public art installation involving a circuit to illuminate a lamp, 2016
Colored pencil and watercolor on paper. Circuit elements are imagined to be human-scale or larger. A solar panel charges a battery that, in turn, illuminates the lamp when ambient light levels are low (i.e., at night).
Study for a sculptural resistor series, 2016. Colored pencil on paper. Kelly Heaton
I continue to work on studies for outdoor sculpture incorporating analog electronics into landscape architecture, public space, and nature. I like the form and color of electronic components, especially rendered with biological character. Situated on a grassy ground plane, green like a circuit board, these larger-than-life circuits are an exciting synthesis of natural and manmade systems.
