Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Expanse
Expanse delves into the profound exploration of geometry, humanity's primal language. In paying homage to Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, Expanse both embraces and extends his legacy, breaking free from the traditional constraints of geometric definitions. It honors the narratives of our history while propelling us beyond these boundaries, ushering us into a realm of fresh, organic, and ethereal evolution. Hand-carved from two solid, fire-salvaged redwood logs over a two year period, this female form expands beyond the representative geometry ( depicted here by a steel ring with ten interial facits) such geometry by previous generations. Expanse was publicly displayed for the first (and only) time at Burning Man in 2023 before its debut in Mare Island.
