Work continues on the constructed mural for the Morris Book Shop. 

From the Archive

A recent inquiry has lead me to some sculptures I had not thought of in quite some time. I always enjoyed this series. I hope to return to them sometime. The interplay between the wood and steel was something that I rather enjoyed. The inorganic elements supporting the organic ones. The organic elements unable to survive without the inorganic. Not surprisingly this piece and series was called Symbiotic. After a little restoration it was ready to ship out. I wonder where and how the other works from this series are doing?

Thanks so much Rob for letting me return to this one.

Morris Book Shop

This project has been a bit under the radar just because I didn’t want to jinx myself, but now it is time to talk about it. Work has begun in earnest on a constructed mural for the Morris Book shop. The plans have been in the works since September of 08 but other commitments kept it from moving forward. Now that the weather has been more hospitable (the studio is unheated) I have been able to really run with this project.  If you have been by the bookshop you may have noticed a small piece on the wall behind the counter. This is the material study for the larger mural. When finished it will be ~ 6’ by 10’ in 6 panels. 

February Gallery Hop

In addition to the gallery artist showing downstairs, there is a incredible body of work upstairs by the renowned chinese artist Zhu Legeng. Mr Legengt is known as the father of modern ceramic work in China and is a visiting artist at the University of Kentucky. This is the first time Mr Legengt has shown outside of China.
