Entropy Gallery

Entropy was founded in 2016 as a workshop to design and develop large scale mechanical models of chaotic systems - kinetic sculpture engineered to move lyrically in a slight breeze while holding up to storm winds.

During the pandemic I published a book of photographs and wrote, directed and performed the original soundtrack for the art documentary film Fleeting Structure that features my paintings and photos. Fleeting Structure has won laurels at film festivals around the globe for photography, cinematography, sound, and editing in categories of best educational, inspirational, environmental, experimental, and science film. It is personal and universal. You may screen the 50 minute film and a more scientific 44 minute SciArt presentation without interruption on this website.

Check out the artwork that now includes mirror symmetry and photo collage or mry to create a surreal scene often with musical components. I exhibited a fascinating subset, Noir Images, at the Florence Biennale 2023 and at Art Dubai 2024. Along with painting and photography, I am routinely engaged in spontaneous nonverbal dialogue with other improvising musicians as a member of the Santa Fe Avant Jazz Collective. The collaborative creative process is challenging and highly rewarding. By subscribing, you'll receive email announcements of upcoming experimental music events.In addition to a career spent in the surreal world of quantum mechanics, I taught physics and the University of New Mexico and acoustics at the College of Santa Fe while serving on funding panels for the New Mexico Arts Division for categories of Music, Artist-in-Residence and Interdisciplinary Projects. I was jury selected as a Featured Artist by the European Circle Foundation for the Arts in 2021 as an artist who exemplifies “current trends and original practices that tell the story of what visual art looks like today.” My photographs are featured in Art in Dialogue with Nature celebrating the 360th anniversary of Daniel Defoe and 170th of Antoni Gaudi (art book series: LOUNGE 2 – volume VII) published in Germany, 2022.
