I've been making these new forms out of scrap wood. In the end they will be wall mounted sculptures. This particular piece is going to be a vertical triptych. These three are on 5"x5" bases and the one in the foreground is the tallest at 14".

I like to keep a panel or canvas handy while I work. These pieces are essentially byproducts of my work in the studio.

If I have excess glue or paint or a wet brush I'll set/wipe it on the panel until I finish what I'm doing.The panels serve as a sort of log or story about what I've been doing, what materials or colors I've been using.

I usually keep the panel around until I feel like it has become its own finished piece or a good launching pad for a piece.

New Ideas & Happenings

Incase you haven't seen the postings on my website: I was recently juried into the Torpedo Factory and will be subletting a studio there during the months of June, July, and August. My work was also in the "Newly Juried Artists Exhibition" at the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory. Pretty exiting news! More info on the Torpedo Factory can be found at TorpedoFactory.org




In other news here are some images of a few studies for an idea I am working on. The finished 3-D pieces will be made up of many small square and rectangle pieces. A small sample is on its way. For more images/info on in-progress work please check out my daily twitter postings @ twitter.com/mtthwfrnswrth

Incoming Flood!

Alright. Lets get to it. I've been neglecting you. So naturally this is the part where I say "I've been really busy". Which is mostly true... sort of. In mid-Feburary I had a solo show in Port Washington. It was at a space called 'Gallery 212'. For those of you who are unaware, We've relocated to the Washington D.C. area. So I now reside in Silver Spring, Maryland. I've got my studio in our second bedroom. Its a good setup. I'm really enjoying it so far. So here is the plan. Next post: images of the show in Port Washington, Wi. Following: Images of the new studio and new works that are completed. Lastly: Current happenings. Then we'll be up to date and I'll be post once a week if not more. Okay go!

Overdue


I thought I would take this opportunity to post because I am on an airplane right now. Pretty cool right!?!












So this post is certainly long over due. This post will so our make-shift darkroom that we constructed in our kitchen. As you can see we used black garbage bags to cover the windows and we hung blankets on both sides of the door to create a light proof room. Luckily the kitchen is right next to our bathroom which has an exhaust fan and the kitchen itself has a nice big ceiling fan. In other news I recently had a solo show in Port Washington. It was part of a community event. The space was great and I was happy to be able to show my work too a relatively large audience. Mike Got this little projector and it worked really well. We had a lot of fun making some photos. We work in a pretty similar manner and come up with some similar abstract images. Down at the bottom is an image of Mike's safe light that came with his projector.
