SCULPTURE

SCULPTURE

  • This series considers the present-day ecological conditions and challenges that our global climate faces and how art can play a role in the response. SunPunks are objects that provide an alternative heat source as a way to address climate change.

    SunPunks are an interactive sculpture that utilizes recycled materials to generate and emulate heat. The sculpture produces heat through the sun's activation. The plexiglass side of the piece must be oriented towards the sun, which heats the metal soda cans, copper pipe or aluminum sheets. A solar powered fan blows the hot air through the tube and into the sculpture.

    The world in which the object exists is akin to a futuristic new genre of fantasy that plays on steampunk aesthetics but instead is referred to as Sunpunk, inspired by a sci-fi landscape that incorporates retro futuristic technology powered by the sun.
