Portfolio
These are projects that I feel best represent my skills, or projects that were my favorite to make.
All projects fabricated entirely by me unless otherwise specified.
Woodland Chair
A chair carved from dimensional lumber with added tree limbs. Created for "The Magic Flute" at The Glimmerglass Festival in 2021. Painted by Chloe Scheel.
Lorraine Motel Furnishings
Bedcover, curtains, and headboards created to resemble the real-life motel room of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as closely as possible. All items made from scratch. Bedcover included hundreds of hand-cut felt dots that I attached in the same pattern to match the real sheets. Headboards made with stained plywood and dimensional walnut. Created for "The Mountaintop" at TheatreSquared in 2022.
Hide-A-Person Cake
A cake large enough to fit a grown man on a rolling base. Framed with dimensional lumber and bendy ply, painted, decorated with painted faux flowers and piped spackle. The skirt around the base was made by Emily Simpson. Chloe Scheel painted the faux flowers and helped with a lot of the painting, as well as the creation and application of decorations per my process. The hinge pieces were welded by Cai Hayner, per my design.
Faux Turkey Platter
A faux turkey dinner platter made for props class in college. The base of the turkey is bead foam and I applied tissue paper to mimic skin. Painted with spray paints and shellac, topped with cut up green paper for seasoning. Potatoes went through the same process. The stuffing is torn apart upholstery foam dipped in amber shellac. All other components were pulled from stock.
