The Ferris Wheel reminds us that war, death and destruction are not child's play, and that we are culpable in everyday actions and choices. Images of the chaos of destruction found in the flags are balanced by the tranquil images of nature seen in the platform below the wheel.

The Ferris Wheel is a 40 kinetic, freestanding wheel made of hundreds of pieces of red tinker-toys with interlacing, interchangeable triangular flags. These flags contain Internet generated images of war and pollution in full color. The wheel sits on a 46 x 28 platform assemblage with digital images of original paintings depicting the beauty of nature, and earth, water, fire and air. Medium: Tinker Toys, acrylic, pumice, manipulated photographs, and twine.
