GIANT BANG II was created for the fun of a GIANT POP ART statement that measures four feet by five feet. Depending on the use of your aesthetics and the roll of the dice, it can be over six feet long. It is constructed by printing one of my chalk pastel paintings on half inch-thick engineered cardboard and cut out as the smaller BANG II board is. The fun difference is the six-inch rubber dice and the grand scale of the finished sculpted piece. In looking at how my paintings are created in a self-construct or assimilation, where one must visually assemble for themselves the art work, it is your chance to visually assemble and physically disassemble the art concept, re-constucting your own perfect fractal-like sculpture. Here there is no winner or loser, it is perfect and unique every time! (Please see the instructions on the BANG II page)

As an artist, I have used the structure of the board, (seen above & below) the process of game-play, coupled with the clean lines of the individual pieces, embracing the chaotic, immediate graffiti-like form of expressionistic elements to embrace the aesthetic of humanity as a whole. This is how I envision the confluence and application of many successful forms of architecture. Weather it is a data mining piece of software or a building housing people or inventory, I see little difference. This is how I see much of architectural application, struggling with "over-design" failing the aesthetic core of the people that are living and working within the contemporary demands before us. The connecting pieces are nothing different than the function of life its self, rising from a concept to reality. (see Stone Graffiti)
