the gentle slope of Cannibal Plateau have been glitched out in this wall hanging sculpture. Cannibal Plateau, near Lake City CO, is so named because that is where Alfred Packer ate some people. See ‘Cannibal the Musical’ for more historic facts.
Using some great LiDAR data, I made this sculpture of the first 3 Flatirons in Boulder Colorado. These amazing features lie on the flanks of Green Mountain. This piece is roughly 22 in x 22 in x 13 in
The iconic American National Park and climbing Mecca rendered in the colors of the ever alluring Sierra Nevada granite.

Made from mirrored acrylic, this disco ball landscape will Literally brighten up any room
p.s. mirrors are still hard to photograph
America's first national monument rendered in some of the highest detail possible! I owe a big thanks to the USGS National Unmanned Aircraft Systems Project Office for the data they collected, and then provide free to everyone. Using a method called photogrammetry (which involved using over 800 photos from drones, and triangulating different points in space from the differences in each photo) they created this great data-set for me to play with. There is so much detail you can see the individual basalt columns running up the cliff faces. This sculpture can be yours, and you don't even need to destroy your living room with mashed potatoes.
This is a reflected landscape from Paw Paw West Virginia. It is certainly the largest "Shield" that I have made so far, and easily on of the most complex and detail oriented pieces, but I think It came out pretty great. Maybe a little too trippy... maybe... probably not. measures roughly 30 in x 40 in x 6 in
This one is pretty awesome, not gonna lie. This wall hanging piece has mirrored glass embedded for the surface of the water, and is framed by stained hickory wood. It's rustic and pop, psychedelic and natural. It is dope.

This is a shield made from the buttes to the south east of Chico CA, They looked volcanic. I saw them while driving by and thought, "hmm, those would make a cool map". Turns out they did.

Hey folks, I am trying a new concept with the topography. By taking a landscape and reflecting it across 2 axis, I am creating these 'Shields'. Let me know what you think!
This if from the foothills beneath Mt Elbert, near Leadville CO
This is of the lower Lodor canyon, with the Green River creating the border/outline of the piece
Taking the deepest lake in the US, and engraving it's topography on to the back of a mirror!!
