3 sculptures located in San Mateo, CA utilize simple natural forms to draw through-lines uniting the region’s culture and history and the ecology and environment of the South Bay. The subtle forms both celebrate the region’s impact on technological advancement while acknowledging the interplay between cultural and environmental contributions that make this region so unique. The project resonates with my studio practice’s engagement with social and environmental impacts of technological advancement.

Lovelace Plum features a polished cast plum branch leaning/supporting a flat plane. Before it was known as Silicon Valley, the region was called the Valley of Heart’s Delight, because of all of its flowering fruit trees. Several sculptures feature a texture made from embossed ones and zeros; binary code I produced from the first published computer algorithm written by Lady Ada Lovelace in 1843.
