Carolina Beach (2025) is a uniform sculptural tensegrity in the tradition of Kenneth Snelson. This seemingly impossible sculpture invites the viewer to take a longer look. To turn to calm and wonder. My mother celebrates her birthday each year on New Year’s Eve at Carolina Beach, a beautiful sandy beach that is also the shortest driving time to the coast from Durham. Those special times at the coast are about connection with family and nature. And a time to reflect on the year past, setting intentions for the year ahead.
