BUILD IT UP TO BURN IT DOWN
I cast a full set of bronze Univers Condensed brands to create this branded poster. The challenges of branding yielded a lot of serendipitous results. Heating the brands evenly is difficult, and the threshold between burning paper and igniting paper

It’s Fleeting/Lighten Up Typographic Installation
It’s Fleeting/Lighten Up is a typographic installation designed to reveal a message as it interacts with sunlight. Laser-cut into a sheet of stainless steel bent at a ninety degree angle, the piece presents two phrases, “IT’S FLEETING,” and “LIGHTEN UP.”
