Houston Center for Contemporary Craft

My show Going Up? just closed at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.  Here are some images of the exhibition.  I hope you were able to see it.

Exhibition images from Potential Energy

These are images of my solo exhibition Potential Energy that was at the Cole Art Center in August.  I wanted to post the images that were taken by SFA graduate candidate Megan Marcantel.

Thanks Megan.

Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts!

My exhibition Going Up? is right around the corner at the Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts.  There is an opening reception on Friday, December 9, 2011 from 5:30-8:00.  I'm excited to see the work in a new space and a new environment.  

Present

Here is a gift that I created for a friend- Jeff Brewer.  The bunny design is modeled after his twelve foot version that is displayed in the Arboretum at Stephen F. Austin State University.  I added a married metal umbrella that can spin.  The texture on the bunny was created with a rolling mill texture using heavy grit sandpaper. It is patinated copper and brass and is placed in a lemon thyme plant.  

Potential Energy closes on Saturday

My exhibition in the Cole Art Center closes this Saturday.  It was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot about the work.  Here are some images of the exhibition.

Angelina Jolie Work Finished

I just finished another piece.  This is the fifth in a woman series including Oprah, Dolly Parton, Sarah Palin and Martha Stewart.  I included images of the front and back.  I'm having fun and getting a lot of work done.  All of this work will be shown at the show in Nacogdoches in August and in Houston in December.  

The Average Dude

This is a new sculpture that is just recently finished.  It includes 99 cast bronze flying rings and 1 silver cast form.  Steel posts spring from recycled tumbled glass in an "s scroll" on the floor. If you'd like to see this work in person,
