I've been busy in the studio making some new work. So far this work is very different from my previous work, so it's exciting and challenging at the same time. No finished images yet, just a few in progress shots and some video.  Here's a couple images of the ceramic tubes I'm working on…

And here's a video of the inside of one of the ceramic tubes while I'm working on it.  While this one is much further along than the narrow tube below, it is still a long way from being finished.

 

And another video of me working on one of the narrow tubes.  In this video, I had just started the drawing on the inside of the tube so most of the surface is still white.

 

Thanks for stopping by to check things out!

Here’s a short video of me fixing some footprints (someone walked on the work during the exhibition). Before the footprints, I had originally sifted the material over the whole surface to create the texture for the work. In this video, you’ll also see me use a brush to feather out the edges of the footprints and cover them with additional material.

enjoy.

One of the graphic design students here, Kaitlin White designed this great poster for my show.

Well, the solo exhibition I had here at Indiana University came down a couple of weeks ago.  I was an exciting time for me because I've been working on this new work and expounding on some of my ideas, but up until now, I had not shown the work.  The turnout at the opening was really great and it was fun talking about and explaining some of the new work and new research I've been doing.  Anyway, the pictures of the finished installation are on my website, but here are some pictures while we were installing the show.  I was fortunate to have a couple of really great students helping me with all of the work – Rob Wooley and Kristy Leverock.  Without them, I may still be installing …
 

It was great working with some students on this project and at times it seemed like a collaboration. During the installation we were bouncing ideas off of one another and having a great time …

Check back soon for more updates.
