Perhaps the most exciting movement here in the beginning of the 21^st century is the idea of “thinking green”, the simple evolution of living in synchronicity with our planet, her diverse life forms and abundant resources. While leading mankind back to our roots and connecting us more closely with all fellow inhabitants of this burgeoning yet fragile planet, “green thinking” also leads us to use new and exciting technologies to enhance previous paradigms into fresh and new examples of creativity. As an artist and theologian I have always valued and revered how art and its quest for beauty speaks to our innermost lives. The intriguing prospect of combining new green technologies and artistic endeavors into one energy producing object is now a reality and a personal quest. Sculptures that not only enrich our visual world but at the same time heat our buildings, light our parks and gardens and teach our children about sustainable energy resources have become more than just a dream.  In silence these sculptural sentinels await the power of the sunrise. Collecting energy throughout the day and storing it in increasingly more efficient formats these helio-centric objects not only speak to our inner need for beauty but connect us closely with the life force of our amazing biosphere. Since the cave paintings of Lescaux, artists have interpreted the beauty that surrounds them. Standing on the broad shoulders of our remote ancestors “green” artists using tools, of which not even Leonardo could have dreamed, can take the next step and enter into a closer and even more harmonious relationship with the natural world from which we sprang. “ANCESTRAL GATE”  SOLAR COLLECTING SCULPTURE “VILLAGE GATE” E-VACTUBE SOLAR COLLECTOR KINETIC WINDVANING “SOLAR TOWER” SOLAR VOLTAICS KINETIC WINDVANING “ECOSEATING” HELIOCENTRIC SELF POWERED DIGITAL PROJECTION PARK BENCH “ECOSEATING” HELIOCENTRIC SELF POWERED DIGITAL PROJECTION DESERT SEATING
