Butterfly Effect

BUTTERFLY EFFECT was a constantly changing composition consisting of 100 concrete balls, 100 concrete bars, 1 concrete cube, 7 movement, 7 years. From 2004 - 2011, seven compositions were placed over the large undulating topography at the Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA, offering unlimited spatial differentials and creating a dynamic relation between object, site, and viewer. Changes were made in response to natural occurrences or world events that stimulate artist/action. The outside influences had no relationship to the sculpture, but motivated the artist to action. In Lorenez’s Chaos theory the Butterfly Effect is a phenomenon where there is sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Small things can cause monumental results.

Draft

Throughout the Selection 2001 exhibition at the Huntington Gallery, Boston MA, 2001, seven new compositions were created in the gallery.  Each new composition was recorded in a 3D drawing of the composition hung on the wall.
