"Sunburst"
Gallery Project - Private Collection
Birch - 6 Layers - 2” Spacing - 12 color LED backlighting
48” x 48”
This project was one of the first pieces to come out of my flagship shop/studio. Before this I had worked out of various garages and tested the limits of many neighbors. My brother Justin and I worked more late nights than I care to remember to get this and another large project wrapped up for an upcoming show. We squeaked them out just in time to load up, put on our coats, and head straight to the gallery.
From the subtle gradient in the complex detail of the sun rays to the first installation of a 12 color LED remote controlled backlighting system, this project almost got the best of me.. Regardless, I learned a lot from “Sunburst” and love how it turned out.. Most of all, I loved getting covered in sawdust and stain in the shop with my big bro and know we will collaborate on many more down the road!
