I am taking "Blade" to ARTBOX Gallery , Stutz Location for a spell.

Heike Pickett Gallery in Versailles, KY (Lexington) continues to show choice bronze sculptures in the gallery as well as human scale ceramic sculpture and "Emergent Force" in the gardens of the oldest home in Versailles.

Longstreth Goldberg Gallery in Naples, Florida is now representing my ceramic sculpture.

New Bronze. Check out the Bronze page in the Work section. I have been working for about a year combining minimally cut and polished Wabash County glacial till field stones (mostly granite and who knows what; any geologists out there?) with projected bronze forms. It is an exercise in imaginative extrapolation from the found object. For those of you who have known my work for a long time, they are a prettier and more permanent version of the found wood/ plaster pieces I did a long time ago. I do the bronze forms in wax. White River Foundry casts and patinas them.

 

 

New Work and News

Earlier in the year I won a competition sponsored by In Bronze Foundry in Oregon, IL. I am in the process of enlarging a sculpture from 18" to 9'."Working the Land" will be cast in bronze and delivered to the town of Oregon in the spring of 2012.

In September I traveled to a unique event in Lenoir, NC. It is a one day "Sculpture Celebration" held at the beautiful Broyhill Walking Park. Entrants show up to 3 sculptures in spots of their choosing. In the afternoon cash awards are given and by 4 PM folks de camp. "Orator" received 4th place and I met some wonderful people.
