My 100- piece miniature orchestra is now complete. A proper display case is the finishing touch. (WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE)
Music to be properly presented needs a concert hall, a play needs a focused audience in a theater and a piece of artwork needs proper framing in a gallery setting to be fully appreciated. Presentation is everything. My challenge is to properly "frame" this 100-piece sculpture. TO THAT END I ASKED FOR HELP FROM ARCHITECT AND CABINET MAKER - GORAN JELCIC. GORAN BELIEVES IN MY WORK AND HAS AGREED TO FOREGO PAYMENT UNTIL THE NECESSARY FUNDS ARE RAISED TO COMPENSATE HIM FOR HIS TIME, SKILL AND MATERIALS. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT GORAN'S GENEROSITY AND EXPERTISE.
This piece is contemporary in every sense of the word. While taking a humorous look at the world of classical musicians, each individualized character reflects the ethnic and gender diversity of orchestras today. When the piece is completed I plan on offering it to orchestras in various major cities across the country starting with Chicago and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It is my hope that a benefactor can be found who will see fit to acquire the piece for display in a prime location for all the orchestra's patrons to enjoy. Getting such a piece its proper recognition requires a first class presentation. Your contribution will enable us to meet that goal.

Getting a contributor to the arts that sees the value in this piece will be difficult because many people admire art but few are ready to support it. But my experience as an artist, actor and musician will help me to explain how the spirit of both art and music are manifested in this work. Everyone from children to the elderly feel the significance of music and art in their lives. I have complete faith that this piece will put them in touch with that fact.
