Here is the last sculpture piece that I've finished. The forms are made from scrap wood and then generously coated with house paint.

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 spent the first couple days at the Torpedo Factory building a couple of pedestals for my work. Here they be!

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
