Epic drone footage of Transmission by @thankyou.rogers — minus the mirror crash 😂

Glad the footage survived the flight 🙌

Early experiments in layers and textures creating organic volumetric forms for temporary installations- a wonderful meditative process.

Throwback to Human + Nature at @mortonarboretum.bsky.social in Lisle, Illinois (2021-2023).

A series of 15-26 ft sculptures scattered across 1,700 acres of forest and garden.

Still one of my favorite chapters so far 🙏

After nearly a decade away, I finally returned to the playa—and for the very first time, I brought one of my artworks out there.
The whole experience was wild and unforgettable.

Using the @elegoo.bsky.social Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, we were able to prototype her for Boom Festival.

Being able to physically hold a sculpture before fabrication changes everything.

You can feel the connection, the laughter, the heart, and the ritual of the crew who built DANCER.

Our new piece Dancer: a 12-meter-tall statue crafted from reinforced concrete, ceramic, and mirror mosaic, installed over six intense and love-filled weeks.

She embodies the three-headed goddess, a symbol of connection, joy, and the eternal rapture of dance that binds us as one human family.

If you’re at #BoomFestival this weekend, come find me on Saturday the 19th at 9PM — I’ll be sharing the story behind my new piece created for #TheRitualofDance.

📍You’ll find me and the sculpture along the path between Sacred Fire and the Being Fields.

Would love to see you there.
