Parrots (one in a limited series of 3 or 4 unique works), 2019. Work in progress
I’m back in my studio after an amazing trip to Los Angeles. I miss that fabulous (sunny and warm) city, but wintertime rural Virginia is good place to get work done.

The Making of a Pretty Bird /
The Making of a Pretty Bird, 2019. A series of 3 printed circuit boards each measuring 12” x 18”. Etched copper, gold electroplate, and silkscreen on epoxy laminate.
Created for a hotel in Chattanooga, TN, this series shows my process to make artistic printed circuit boards. The first panel contains my schematic diagram for a sound-generating circuit that “sings" like a bird. In the central panel, my electronic design has been translated into conductive copper metal --the essence of a functional circuit. Multiple production layers including copper, solder mask, silkscreen, and gold electroplate are assembled in the final panel to create a work of aesthetic and electronic art as seen here.
This work is available for purchase. For inquiries, please email me.
