EDGE EFFECT 7’ x 2.5’

Hand plasma cut and prismatic powder coated steel with high lumen lights.

The edge effect describes how there is greater biodiversity of life where two or more ecosystems overlap. Hand cut designs of Sword Fern, Nootka Rose, Elderberry, Pacific Trailing Blackberry, and Salmonberry emerge to create a forested understory of light. The wing tips of Owl cut the sky to let cyclical moons shine through. Crafted from sparks searing through steel, "Edge Effect" conjures the wilds of nature into shifting spectres of shadow and light.
