This piece is a favorite of mine. I titled it "Woven Reflections". welded entirely out of stainless steel. Most of the laticework on the face was done by plasma cutting tons of 1/8 inch sheet stainless steel into ribonlike pieces and the weaving hammering and welding them in place.
      The monumental face sculpture was fabricated using a steel armature underneath it. the understructure is a sculpture as well.
      The reason behind the name of this piece is that during it's construction 9/11 took place. It was somewhat ironic that i ran out of the ribbon like pieces of metal i was using and had to improvise by strategicly  placing in the more geometrical rectangular pieces seen peaking through. These pannels were put in the day before the 9/11 tragedy. In retrospect after the piece was finnished i reflected on the piece and the event in NYC and was shocked to see what looked like buildings falling amidst smoke and rubble hidden in the fabric of the face.
    The reflectiveness and woven structure of the metal, the reflection on the incomprehensible event and all the unfathomable emotions of all the people seemd to rest in peace in a simple gesture of a giant metal face. I feel like in some strange way it helped ground all the kaotic and fear based energy at that time and sent out a vibration of peace, calm and stabillity in a time of soul questioning and confusion.
