Horray!

Terry Lansburgh and I will be continuing our collaboration this summer thanks to our school's generous F. Parvin Sharpless Faculty and Curricular Advancement Program (FACA).



We made the above piece dandelion back in 2007. You can see more images from that project here. We plan on documenting the whole process start to finish with another blog. I'll post a link to it as soon as it goes public.

Penned travels to Lump In Raleigh NC

Last year's Artscape Spectacular salute to all things pens has taken it on the road! Arriving this week at Lump in Raleigh NC. My drawing was made with the super-duper bic 4 color pen!
You can check out all the drawings here. This one is my favorite.

General Merriment!

I just returned from a three day jaunt to Memphis, TN where I had a show at Material and gave a lecture at Rhodes College and did some critiques with their students.





The show was a terrific experience, I generally end up showing drawings and sculpture separately from each other. Since I had the gallery all to myself I had the chance to put the two together for a show of what I was calling my "celebration-based work" which included a new woven table based piece, the high-five self portrait, veneer bows, and drawings.

I was especially happy with the way the drawings looked all grouped together. I think they look more object like and grouping them made them both seem bigger and showcased the relationships and repeating forms between the pieces.








I had a great time reconnecting with my host all around Memphis art superstar Hamlett Dobbins. We hadn't seen each other since Iowa City and it was lovely to meet his family. Hamlett introduced me great people like Melissa Dunn, fellow flag lover Joel Parsons, and Erin Harmon, AND we had a chance to swing by Melissa and Erin's studios before I flew out on Saturday.

The show received some press here and there and here is an awesome response to my lecture at Rhodes from Chandler Pritchett.
