Current Work

	“Urban Cactus” This piece has been in work for a couple years now.  It’s foundation is poplar and it has some awesome spikes I found from a metal shop in Seattle.  The glass has been difficult to obtain, as finding matching colors and textures for the arms has been a struggle.  The architecture of the arms took a huge amount of design revisions and they finally received a coat of paint last fall.  I hope to have the glass completed by the summer and look forward to showing it; hopefully in a sunny venue as the glass is amazing in natural light.
“Anarchist Figure” This painting is still unfinished and has demanded a high quantity of attention.  It’s difficult to complete emotionally driven pieces for me because I tend to shift moods a bit and timing is everything!  I feel like the negative weight of this piece has been lightened by a new sense of freedom and independence.  I will continue this piece until it tells me to stop, and may have to rename it if it desires.
	“Untitled Drawing”  Like all my drawings, they all tend to ignite from a single thought, and morph into a chaotic and swirling combination of ideas.  They are all relatively unified and I always enjoy sharing the stories of the imagery.  This piece has been in the mix for a few years now and is finally getting the finishing touches it deserves.
“Ringed Portal” I’ve been working on the wood and stained glass in these 33 rings for a couple years now.  I have an idea of how I want to have them shown and hope to have a kinetic incorporation by this summer.  The glass acts like a projective rainbow in the sun, and casts colorful shadows!  I hope to continue using vibrant glass in a new series of work I’ve begun based on the “ring” form.  The concept is “traveling without moving” by using the notion of portals or segmented tunnels to gain a sense of omnipotence.
