Zirpel’s work explores a convergence between art and science. He has had numerous national exhibitions. In 2006, he produced a large sculptural work titled “Water Organ”. Exhibited at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, it consisted of a 1000lb assemblage of glass, water and steel designed to utilize the siphoning action of water to pump air to activate reeds in a sound installation. Last year during a two-month fellowship at the Australian National University he produced blown forms related to the human cochlea and the perception of hearing.
