Compost and the Nutrient Cycle:

An educational video about the science of compost and the nutrient cycle, this video was made in cooperation with Route 66 Organics in St. Louis and is intended for middle school children.

Light/Shadow Sculpture/Portraits

As of Feb 2007, there are new developments in the series of light carvings I started in the fall of 05. This time, it's not a back-lit translucent object, but an opaque front-lit piece. So I'm working with active shadows rather than active light. I'm also still refining the materials for the backlit portraits. Have a look.
