Christopher Fennell
September 1, 2009-February 5, 2010

Artist Concept Rendering

Christopher Fennell brings together the iconic desert image of a dust devil and reclaimed barn wood to create this powerful sculpture, activating and defining the bell tower space.

Fennel was first inspired to build large installations from salvaged materials after getting a job tearing down a condemned barn during his college years when he gathered the wood on the job site to create his first artwork of this type. Since then, Fennell has continued to use and be inspired by cast off materials that have a history. He holds degrees in both sculpture and mechanical engineering from the University of South Florida and currently resides in Birmingham, AL.
