ArtPrize 2013!


Just wanted to post an update on ArtPrize.

I will be exhibiting a sculptural installation titled Discern at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts  in Grand Rapids, MI this September. www.uica.org

I have also created a Kickstarter project to help in the funding of transportation to ArtPrize.

Work continues...and some exhibition updates.

I spent much of this past Saturday charring the wooden boulder that will be included in one of my current pieces.  It was pretty obvious that I could not have possibly achieved the surface and values I was after had I used paint.



Looks like at least two and possibly three more shows before May 2013.  Who knew? Well the marathon has begun and I am stayin' n the race.  I will have dates and locations shortly.

Return To Me - process photos




Currently I am working on two different sculptures, Return To Me and one yet to be titled.  My hope is to have them completed by the end of 2012...hopefully. Enjoy the photos and shoot me questions should you have any.
