Objects

Ceramic Fungi 2008

Urnula, 2008

Purple Peel, 2008

glazed stoneware

The material choice of ceramics creates a tension between the mysterious and temporary quality of fungi and the permanence of the sculptures. These fungi symbolically represent a network of transformative decay below the surface of the gallery walls. This is part of a series of fungi inspired work in which I am exploring liminal states, transformation and impermanence.

These pieces can be installed in different ways for each different space. Contact me for prices and sales.

Leftovers 2008

minidutch gallery

In this show I've made work from the materials that have been in my studio, in some cases for over 10 years. I've been carting these leftover and never used materials around think that someday I would make art with them. The materials vary from found objects, felt, latex, fake eyes, orange powders....

I returned to the source of art making practice for this exhibit. The curious, adventurous, anything goes making from my youth created these many delightful, often curious objects. This making process was fun and immediate, creating new pieces rapidly and severing what had become an emotional tie to the promises of all these materials.

To further sever the tie, the work is for sale, and very affordable prices range from $1 to $50. Some work is available for cash and carry.
