These are 12 kinetic works depicting the evolution of my "Bling Bling" micro-ecologies.  Each piece represents a small floating environment evolving on the back of cultural detritus; fans, plastics, jewelry, and various toys are utilized.  I was inspired by the horror of the Pacific Gyre, Daniel Burd's plastic eating bacteria, and the the unique properties of Chemosynthesis.
