Where can I find information about the work of John Pakosta?
Specifically looking information about his "Cell" installation. Was
displayed at Wake Forest University Fine Arts Gallery's Fusion: Arts &
Science exhibition in 1999. He
recieved a master of Science from Arizona state university, Tempe in
1976 and Master of Fine Arts  from Chicago Art Institute in 1987.

There's a brief description of Pakosta's exhibit at the WFU website:


http://www.wfu.edu/wfunews/1999/100699ts.htm

SQUEEZING ELECTRICITY FROM LEMONS
Artist John Pakosta will turn 100 lemons into batteries for his
15-foot by 25-foot artistic creation called "Cell" on Oct. 7. He
creates electricity by piercing the fruits with metal electrodes. The
electricity from the lemons travels through an elaborate network of
colored wires to an electric meter. Pakosta's work is part of the new
exhibit, "Fusion: Art and Science," opening Oct. 8, in the Wake Forest
Fine Arts Gallery. Also featured in the exhibit is Norman Tuck's
"OscylinderScope," an interactive artwork that explores the nature of
sound by translating the vibration of musical strings into visible
waves.

construction of the piece. Previous work would be helpful .

I haven't found anything beyond the link I already provided.  Perhaps
one of my fellow researchers will have more luck.
