Would any of you sit in front of your computer or at your desk all day long in a chair that didn't move? Then why would we put a person in a wheelchair for the rest of their life with a seat that doesn't move? The Kinetic Seating System for the Wheelchair is an invention that allows persons in a wheelchair to flex and stretch and move. See how it works: http://www.akaprototype.com/movie.html

I am an artist. I mostly sculpt. I use whatever material I can get my hands on or what the budget can bear. Material is energy and my work is about transforming a material into something else...no matter what that material might be. I worked in metal for many years, but my latest passion is with stone. I have a Master's Degree in Industrial Design and so I also design and invent new kinds of objects. I am a part time university professor. One of my classes is titled: Design Innovation. It is about inventing things. I also teach a course on Materials in an Architecture School. I find it difficult to sit still. This is often annoying to the men in my life (or the men who used to be in my life), but I just can't help it. I love to spend my time being creative. That is and has always been the most important thing to me.
