I love working with metal and creating something apparently from nothing.

It brings out the frustrated metalsmith in me..

There is more to art than paint, paper and sculpture.

​There is beauty in metal.

Such a pleasure to share photographs from the Opere show.

Sunshine, friendship and love.

Enjoy!

The GOLLY! exhibition at SRISA Florence has now closed.

GOLLY! reflected on the ways in which the personal can construct profound narratives about collectivity and the collective can provide flattened or fragile notions of individuality. 

The works exhibited were a mash up of my abstract paintings and pattern based works dedicated to the minstrel like Golliwogs; the former, a meditation on my Midwest upbringing, of quilting and of distant geographies and, the latter, a grappling with a form of ownership and active detachment of stereotypes from their human implications.

A big Thank You! to everyone who came and for all the feedback!

I am presenting a one man show at the New York City restaurant/bar Basta Pasta on 37 West/17th this month and next (January and February, 2015).

The show is made up of small works on paper, together with small oils on canvas and my bottle cap sculptures (see the pictures below from when we were hanging the show).

This is also my first show in the United States for 30 years. 

If you decide to drop in (and I recommend you do so!) expect to see elegant pattern work hung salon style in a sophisticated New York Chelsea venue.
