Louis Larson (Unit 2)



Hometown: Pittsburgh

Age: 37

Medium: Mixed medium sculpture. The current body of work embraces technology and uses sound, hand-blown glass, light, latex, industrial controllers, steel, fiberglass and animal intestines.

Finest hour: Completion of the first body of work, Nov. 3, 2001, and realizing the strength of our collaborative efforts and what we could accomplish.

Day job: Guitar instructor.

Secret ambition: To have the resources to change peoples' lives by awarding "life scholarships." I know many people who are talented but lack the resources to realize their potential. I would also like to play drums in a jazz trio.

What's next? To raise funding for the show Unit 2 is in at the Carnegie in October, to show the current body of work in major metropolitan cities, to accomplish our secret plan, which we cannot disclose at this time.
