some time coming.

Since my last post:

(1) I fabricated a large wall hanging sculpture in December.

(2) I began a painting course in January - I'm pretty rusty with the brush.

(3) Lately, I've been making maquettes and writing a proposal for an outdoor sculpture at UNC-CH. It's been submitted, so now I'm waiting to hear what the art gods decide.

The numbers above the images below correspond to the particular project above.

--------(1)--------




--------(2)--------




--------(3)--------


(This next image is a second maquette for the large sculpture, still in process.)


And last but not least, I had the privilege of visiting the Isamu Noguchi Museum in Queens, NY last weekend. This is of my favorite human-made spaces, not to mention Noguchi's work. If you find yourself in New York City, I highly recommend going there - but preferably in the spring. The following is one of the many photos from my visit.



Thanks for coming by.

project # 2! (and an injury.)

i'm deep into project 2 of my sculpture course now.  it's focusing on casting (in plaster, mainly).  this is pretty exciting as it is a pretty much new medium for me.  images below....


first day after the initial casting.
looks like something's getting cut down!




where we are now.
also, i put a drill bit in my finger last week.  don't ever do that, hurts like hell.

At the Crit!



Here's what the critique looked like:





Sorry the photos are kinda washed out & not so good--I blame the iPhone camera, and my lack of photoshop skills.

Skool Days / Sculpture 103

I am back in college!  This is the first project from my sculpture class.  A work in progress for sure.  I'll be heading back to the studio this afternoon, and maybe there'll be some more photos later....

welcome.


thanks for coming.  take a look around.  this is intended to be an outlet for my visual thought process, not a portfolio.  a shared workspace.  any comments or critiques are welcome.

if you haven't read Ways of Seeing (John Berger), i highly recommend you do that.

hopefully there will be new work up soon. gotta get the camera on some old pieces too.
