Earthbound Moon: Site 001
earthboundmoon.com
Please help make this happen! This fall the collaborative project Earthbound Moon will be installing a sculpture in west Texas created by Danish artist, Heidi Hove. She has designed a solar powered 'Welcome' sign that will stand alone on an undeveloped pacel of property near the small town of Bledsoe, Texas. The Danish Arts Council has generously provided two small grants for the project. But we are looking for additional help to make sure the installation goes in.
We currently are using kickstarter.com, a website that aids folks in raising funds for creative projects. Please visit the link below to learn more about Earthbound Moon, the installation and how you can help. Pledges start as low as $5 and are tax deductible. Thank you for your time and support.

Joint Territories (working title)
Pictured below is a diagram and model of a proposed installation in a space with two skylights. As in Territories, the path of sunlight falling into the space will be recorded over a given time period. This record will trace out the volumetric shapes of the sculptures. The intersecting structures will be constructed from flexible lengths of wood connected with metal brackets. The framework will then be wrapped in a semi-transparent stretch fabric. During daylight hours, the sunlight will move through the sculpture, highlighting the framework and volume inside.
