Beast - mounting of one-ton heavy black concrete sculptures in famous places in twenty cities across Europe. The sculptures represent a pig in human clothes. The project has been called the biggest art   more...happening in Europe. The purpose was, in an untraditional way, to focus on the increasing violence, intolerance, racism and persecution of minorities, that Europe witnessing these years.
The Silent death - a happening highlighting the absurdity of the global imbalance and the double standard of morallity in the western world. It was carried out during the UN's social summit in Copenhagen 1995. 750 figures of children(a total of 5 tons) were fettered to benches, lamp posts etc. all over the city. The figures were made of cloth and stuffed with gravel. Their size was like 3-9 year old children. They symbolized the 35.000, who die every day, because of hunger and lack of medicine, primarily in the poorest countries.  less

On April the 17th 2000 a Pillar of Sahme was erected in front of the parliament, on the square of three Powers in the Brazilian capital. The sculpture was set up in commememoration of the 19 landless   more...peasants who were killed by the military police in the northern state of Pará on April 17th 1996.
On May the 1st the Pillar of Shame, dubbed 'nobel prize of injustice', was set up for good in Belém, capital of the nothern state of Pará, where the Eldorado massacre had taken place in connection with a land occupation.
The sculpture was set up in the wake of fierce scuffles, between protestors against impunity and the police. (this movie is in Danish)  less

This sculpture in Horsham, England, is technically called “Cosmic Cycle”, but none of my friends, who LIVE in Horsham, call it by that name . . . . they tend to call it MUCH less “complimentary” names!   more...LOL . . . I’ve always called it “The Flushing Earth”, and it’s one of the more bizarre sculptures I’ve ever seen! . . . . granted, it’s fun to WATCH! LOL, but still BIZARRE!!

The song is “How Bizarre”, by OMC, which I think is a PERFECT song choice!  less

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.comThe interior of an 18" square x 1" piece of Plexiglas was charged to 2.2 million volts (MV) using a 5 MV particle accelerator. A layer of excess electrons   more...become trapped deep inside. When discharged, the excess charge escaped with a bright flash and a loud bang. The hot, lightning-like discharge created thousands of microscopic fractures inside the acrylic, resulting in a branching "Captured Lightning" sculpture (or Lichtenberg Figure).This video was done by Bert Hickman from Stoneridge Engineering.

The Nine Muses I've been getting ready for my upcoming show are finished and I wanted to give you a sneak peak before they leave. :)

This is what I do when I'm not out building stone walls.This is a head being carved in blonde sandstone for the gable end of a house. Feel free to add some music of your own. I decided to leave the soundtrack   more...as it was because there's something quite therapeutic in the tapping of a hammer on a chisel.  less

"The Hand" as it is unofficially called by some here on Fullerton Campus is done! Todd Frahm finished it and now it is sitting on the SouthEast Corner of Lemon and Chapman, across from Fullerton's   more...Main Campus, in the sculpture garden, or as i call it, the "grassy knoll".

what to do? what to do?

Ever since I was a kid I have always had a fascination with bones. I don't know what it is. Probably because I find them strangely beautiful, much like seashells. Seashells and Bones are the hard evidence   more...that some organism once shared space with them. Human skeletons are often scary looking, and yet, wrapped around most human skeletons are some fabulously beautiful people. I like that aesthetic contrast. I'm always looking for that duality, the beautiful within the horrific. It makes me stop and take a longer look and try to admire the hidden beauty of something or someone ugly.

As a kid I loved natural history museums (Art museums became a much later love affair) and seeing the reconstructed dinosaur skeletons,and thinking about tht guys who first found them, dug them up, and reassembled them without an instruction manual. My grandparents lived out in the country and I loved finding old cow skulls and such out in the field.I'd pretend they were dinosaurs and that maybe, just maybe, a few live ones might still be around. For me, a box of old bones was a treasure chest!

In the summer before I entered College the movie "Alien" came out. The film features a scene where astronauts stumble across a derelict alien shipwreck on an uncharted planet, and find the very realistic bones of a dead alien inside, with evidence of some kind of internally generated trauma that killed it. That rekindled my fascination with bones, and I started creating my own collection of "Alien skulls"out of kiln-fired stoneware clay, which I would then paint to look like real dessicated bone. I would proudly display them as knick-knacks on my shelves, as ersatz "Specimens" from my travels to other worlds (or some perversely mutated corner of THIS world, since there was an oddly human feel to all of them). Sometimes I would build a display stand for a skull that lookedlike part of the rest of the creature it belonnged to.

I turned a very elaborate one in as my final project in my second semester of Sculpture in college. Its stand actually possessed something of a ribcage,although I took artistic liberties with it to make it more interesting and asymmetrical (That's the tall center piece in the photo in my photos section here!). I was rather amused by the reactions of people who were unfamiliar with me and my work. A biology student criticized the piece for not having the correct rib-count. At first I was offended until I learned that she thought the damn thing was REAL! A similar comment came from one of my fellow students who worked in a different section of the sculpture labs:"Who th' hell brought these old bones in here?" Needless to say I was proud of my inadvertent deception of my viewers. Got an "A" , too. Bonus!

I still make skulls and skeletons now and then. Sometimes I like to put comical fish-bones in my Cat paintings. I've also made 3-D paintings of imaginary prehistoric fish skeleton specimens and flying beasts. I don't do it as often as i used to, but I have a lot of fun just letting my imagination run wild in different media whenever I get my Jones to make Bones!

Just thought I'd share one of the many strange things about me since I ran across this video of my original skull collection the other day. The sound collage in the audio track is all mine.  less

Despite the rather dubious "history" of the rare and sought-after Two-Chambered Resonating Ventiloscillator, Larry is in fact the creator of this very impressive-looking musical instrument.   more...Ostensibly the only wind instrument fabricated out of concrete, it is actually another one of Larry's sculptures made from PVC pipe and papier mache'. Watch and listen as Larry struggles to push real music through this thing while being gently heckled by "Night of the Necroluna" cast members.

I must apologize for the annoying hum that permeates this video. It's a gasoline-powered electrical generator brought in to help power the stage lights and the sound system for this outdoor event we were throwing.  less
