Mt Pile, Scalehouse Gallery, Bend, OR 2024

Mt Pile a large-scale, site-specific sculptural landscape that delves into the concept of the pile as a metaphor for family. This form is both a pile and a mountain, simultaneously a burden and aspirational. A landscape is created that allows the viewer to both be enveloped in and surrounded by the sculptural forms. There will be layers of interactivity. There is the Hope Room where glass rocks and soft tree limbs entice the viewer to touch with both their eyes and hands. The Junk Drawers encourage people to freely take things that pique their interest/desire.
