Armature in the Making

This is the first armature in the works for the new sculpture series I'm playing with. Made of high-density foam and dowel rods with some 2x4's to weight the bottom. There are a few more sections to go to complete the arched form (I have to wait for the glue to set to continue building) and all of it will be wrapped in chicken wire to complete the under-structure...nothing fancy here! This will then be wrapped in quilt batting, upholstery foam, and fabric before the final top "coat" will be added.

I'm still here!

I know I haven't posted in quite some time...It has been a very busy past year! I've definitely kept busy with all of the curatorial and public programming work at Pinebox, as well as developing a micro-business art program for Itineris at the same time. I'm happy to report however that I spent the last couple months setting up a brand new personal studio and have now begun experimenting with a new series. I'm branching away from the wearable work for the time being, however the sculptures I am creating are still very much plush and textile based. Here are a few sketches from the studio...more details to come as the project unfolds. Stay tuned!

Busy at the Pinebox

A lot of work, time,and energy has been going into developing and growing this new art center. Our first exhibition and grand opening was a great success. We had over 120 guests and I made a lot of great new connections.
