Disparities in farming; the human machine
Anthropologists have long believed that agriculture provided the seeds from which civilization grew. —ejournalusa, 21stCentury Agriculture
Below are process photos of the build of this project. The metal sculpture stands 14’H x 4’D x 4’W. You can read more about the sculpture here.
Creation of the sculpture took many hours of bending metal, fusing the armature together, painting, and placing the lucite balls inside the body carefully. When installed lights outline the armature, crown and front/back feet. Lights also shine inside the armature through the Lucite balls and shine through the feet. All the metal is painted gold and green. The sculpture stands approximately 6 feet tall x 4 feet wide.
The Prince of New York Waterways over looks the water. Photos are right after install before his lights and lily pad were put into place.

Human development is an open – ended process, the core essence of an individual is the human spirit. This essence is developed through experience and reflecting on the experience. This act of reflection serves as a bridge between learning from experience and progressing into the future. This is the foundation for Leadership and Wisdom.
The sculpture is made from 1/4" stainless steel and painted mahogany.

Thank you all for sharing the beautiful day at Saunders Farm with me and the cows!
I’m so glad to have been apart of another successful year of Collaborative Concept’s Farm Project and look forward to next year!
Synthetic nitrogen farming; the consequential machine
The struggle to feed the growing population of the world in the late nineteenth century led to the introduction of synthetic nitrogen farming to increase crop yield. Over half of our population today is fed with the dependency on nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer not absorbed by crops travels through our water, soil and air leading to contamination affecting our environment and human health.
The sculpture is made from 1/8" stainless steel, painted mahogany and aluminum discs.
Measuring 4ft. D x 8ft. W x 9ft. H
