I was honored to be selected for an amazing opportunity in Telluride in the summer of 2022. Ah Haa School for the Arts is an amazing arts non-profit in the town of Telluride (in my opinion the prettiest town in the lower 48 states, prove me wrong!) that teaches the community all different types of artistic expression, and teaches all age ranges! Their annual fundraiser in 2022 transformed from a silent auction into an installation immersive experience, and I was selected to create one of the rooms. My installation was two 18 foot long sculptures, one depicting the topography of the near by Willson Massif, and the other the rugged mountains surrounding near by Mount Sneffels. This was so amazing to see come to life, and a butt load of work, there are over 270 separate slats of wood in this room, and each one had to be modeled, cut and painted, with 2 coats!
These first pictures are of the sculptures in the room, before the lighting crew came in to finish the installation.
And these pics are of the beautifully lit final installation!
In 2023 these sculptures were re-installed at a solo museum show at the Littleton Museum, the show was titled “Re-interpreting Re-ceating Nature”. These amazing photos were taken by Photos by: WM Artist Services, www.wmartistservices.com
