- 2012 “Ecstasy,” “Mumbatu,” “Manu,” “George,” “Epiphany” and “Passage” Sold to Reserva do Ibitipoca, MG, Brazil. Built between 2005 and 2007, a total of ten 30’ tall sculptures built from salvage steel were created for the “Crude Awakening” installation and performance. Each figure assumes a different posture of worship practiced in various parts of the world. They figures were paying homage to a 100’ tall wooden oil derrick which represented a modern-day house of worship, illustrating our lust for oil and the economic, environmental and cultural impact oil production and consumption has globally. Six of these figures now stand in a rainforest preserve where great efforts are being made to save an endangered species of monkey, and the forest is in it’s fifth decade of reforestation.
- 2010 “Infinitarium” A botanical garden of enormous proportion, Infinitarium included a towering dandelion, willow trees, trumpet flowers, leaves and whimsical plants.

Seats and benches were built into various part of the installation to allow guests to climb in, relax, and see the world from a different perspective.
- 2007 “Girringun Flame Tree” Commissioned for the Indigenous Land and Sea Project, North Queensland, Australia.

The tree features sixteen automated water features and eight flame features.
