Photo Studio Installation: Lamborn's Studio and Custom Framing

In 2002, Fred and Christine Tom (owners of Lamborn's Studio and Custom Framing) commissioned Krino to design and build a backdrop within their photography studio. The structure offers a somewhat non-traditional setting. It is a Romanesque Arch over a deep doorwell. The facade appears to be constructed of large stones with numerous cracks, although it has been fabricated with various other materials. A thick texturizing mud called Bondex creates the rock-like surface, and acrylic paint brings color and detail to the facade. The floor has also been incorporated to look like stone work and the door within the arch is made from salvaged barn planks. The installation occupies an area of 10'x10'x10'.

Mural Installation: Ohio University's Scott Quad Multimedia Lab

"20th Century Ode"

During the summer of 2001, Ohio University's College of Communication obtained a newly designed multimedia facility. On a large wall within the main lobby resides "20th Century Ode," a sculptural mural commissioned by the College and designed/installed by Krino.

The installation spans nearly 30 feet and stands 8 feet tall in areas. It is constructed entirely from obsolete media equipment with objects ranging from computers/general electronic parts to telephone cords, co-axle cable and speaker wire. All of the equipment was provided by the College of Communications.

"20th Century Ode" is intended to resemble an archeological find. The use of Monochromatic grey paint and free flowing composition have helped transform these objects into fossilized artifacts. This sculpture redefines Mixed-Media.

Industrial Warehouse Installation

"Breathe Again"

This installation consisted of five individual pieces within an abandoned industrial building. Krino began this project in March 2001, working on site throughout its completion in June, 2001. For this three month period, the otherwise dormant building once again saw life. Each piece is a tribute to the surrounding space, and representative of birth, life, decay, and death. It is this cycle that inspired Krino to revitalize the space.
