Update!

Hello again!

I just wanted to post a few upcoming shows/events that I am going to be a part of and to share some updated images of revisited work and works in progress.  

I am going to be part of a show at Lillstreet art Center called Let there Be Light.  I'm very excited to be a part of this show that is including many other talented artists.  Check out my new pots when the show opens on November 22nd!  

As always I have work at Crimson Laurel Gallery.  Check out their gallery for shows going on and the other artists they represent!  

I am also going to be part of an event at Sapor Restaurant in Minneapolis along side Nick Moen, David Swenson, and Victoria Dawes that focuses on pairing our ceramic work with the dishes that the chef creates.  It will be a one night event in December, focused on the experience of eating off of our handmade wares and the use of our functional ceramics with the artful experience of food.  I'm excited to see how this event unfolds!  More info to come!  

The University of Minnesota's Art Department had their 10th anniversary last Friday.  The Faculty and some Alumni had shows up in the Nash Gallery and Quarter Gallery.  Some grads were also asked to show their work for the event and I was able to revisit my piece Let's start here and then go way up over there.  I was excited for the chance to work through some ideas I had after my installation in October.  Here's a view of the installation in the 10th Anniversary Show.

This semester I am in an Advanced Drawing class and I have been working on quicker, more intuitive studies.  I've been investigating the arch as a shape and its particular meaning in history and in my own personal history.  It's been an interesting process having this quicker way of working in collaboration with my slower process of building the abstract ceramic forms.  There is an interesting tension that happens in my studio and in my installations with these two components in relation to each other.  It speaks to past memories and the recollection of that memory and where the two meet up in my studio.  Here are a few

images of works/ideas in progress.
