Two years of work and a number of groups and individuals helped make this spectacular sculpture come to life. Here we are sitting on the roots of "Sirshasana" during the early morning installation in May 1999.

The larger, more intricate and more inspired the work becomes, more artists and artisans are needed to accomplish them. This is a premise I have seen come true throughout my career: we are no greater than the sum of our parts and teamwork can be very satisfying. Collaboration is a kind of teamwork. For the production of "Sirshasana" I collaborated with the well known New York artist, Donald Lipski. His sculpture hangs in Grand Central Terminal Market in New York City. The aluminum and fiberglass tree is 14' tall by 20' wide, is suspended from the ceiling and is hung with 5000 Svarwoski crystal pendants.

I collaborated with Scott MacGregor and his firm Stage Right to produce this "Kowshark", which will be auctioned at a charity for the Children's Fund in Portland, Oregon.
