I’m a fan of making big unusual things.
So much so, that I’d like to help you make your next greatest thing.
Let’s build some cool stuff.
I’ve had the pleasure of helping a number of artists with their large scale public art installations.
Worked on Ram Jam
I’ve been lucky enough to help work as crew on several of Don Kennell’s and Lisa Adler’s large animal sculptures over the years. I’m hoping that trend continues.
Worked with
Sean Connaughty
Supported in the fabrication and installation of the Ark of the Anthropocene. It was both a tricky build and install. This was in front of the Weisman Art Museum designed by Frank Gehry.
Collaborated with Jack Becker and Bob Lunning
Together, we fabricated and installed a cloud to hover over a silent maze for the Northern Spark Festival in St Paul, MN
“For more than 25 years I've had the privilege to work with Joel Sisson, including a wide range of exciting projects. As a multi-talented artist, with a sizable toolbelt of skills, Joel has helped me realize several ambitious public art projects. Likewise, as a public art consultant, I've enjoyed helping Joel find support for some of his large-scale endeavors. He always has great ideas, new ways to look at solving problems, and a sense of humor that makes working with Joel thoroughly enjoyable. Joel is also a great human being. He's passionate about improving the lives of people who are less fortunate than he is, thrives on creating meaningful experiences for audiences young and old, and makes friends wherever he goes. I'm proud to be one of them!”
Jack Becker
I’ve recently had the pleasure of helping artist David Syre create a 6’ tall aluminum sculpture from a table top glass maquette. The collaboration included working with Casting Creations. An installed it at the Peace Arch Park along the US/Canadian border.
It was a pleasure working Casting Creations in Minnesota to bring this idea to life
The last few years I’ve been helping Brian Sobaski bring his visions to life.
Sculpture Removal or Refurbishing
Sometimes my services and skill sets are needed to figure out how to handle existing problems. There’s usually a fair amount of research, site visits and resourcing involved. I’m game for the challenge.
