model for gigantic sculpture





I am back at school after a long, relaxing, and productive winter break. I can already tell that this, my final semester at Cranbrook, is going to be FAST and full of excitement. There is alot of work that needs to be done, and I can't wait to get in to it. Our CNC machine is just days away from being fully operational, and I am completely overwhelmed with ideas for new work.


After digesting the feedback I got from the faculty at reviews in December, I've realized a few things... the first of which being that my paintings need to get lot bigger, and a bit less tasteful, or "polite" as Beverly might say. Also, the response I've been receiving about the architectural-looking wooden support systems has been pointing me towards the direction of furniture making. I've been getting homesick for Lancaster and looking through books about antique Pennsylvania Dutch pine furniture. I guess it's just one of those things that you don't fully appreciate until you get away with it for awhile...


Expect more updates soon. The studio is a flurry of activity... and Bloomfield Hills is so covered in snow that I can't do anything besides make work!

launch













I finally got my website online, and I got Anna's up while I was at it.
Check them both out, won't you?
