  • Avaya will install the lenticular image they commissioned for their new headquarters in Westminster, Colorado. The three panel image "Symphonic Synergy"deals with images of sound.
"A symphony is a collection of individual voices -- each beautiful in it's own right. Yet assembled randomly they are merely a cacophony of noise. A conductor stands strong among the chaos, guiding the voices, bringing order and beauty to light. Beauty arises out of the void itself, changing noise to music; a manifestation of vision and will as voices join one by one and create a whole that far exceeds the parts. Truth moves throughout the performance, permeating each small effort, it's power and simplicity casting shadows and echoes throughout; it molds and shapes both the voices and the vision, and yet is faithful to the goal. The crescendo peaks, radiating outwards as talent and nature unite; a doorway opens, inviting the audience to view and listen to this symphonic synergy."
  • Cambiar Investments has installed the commission lenticular art in their office in Cherry Creek, Colorado. The art titled "Dollar" used a cut up dollar bill suspended in 3 dimensional space.
