Peeping Bloom

This Amber Eyed Peeping Bloom always keeps an eye out for dreamers lost in slumber. Our internal landscapes are vast and complicated. We could all use a friendly guide in the upside down of our imagination. Where do you go when you sleep?See all the weird things I’ve been working on, plus beautiful new work by @danielcurranart and @ryshu at Galeria Regina tonight, Saturday August 17th 5-9pm.

Flower Bits

Cleaning up the seams and putting together the inside flower bits.The pieces were so small that, even with a pressure pot, I was getting air bubbles. I ended up pouring with the mold open, and topping it off after strapping it together. A little more clean up than usual, but those tiny chisels get the job done easy. Check out this and more at Journey to Terra Flora this Saturday, 5-9 at Galeria Regina.

This last step of documenting turns it all back into magic. I get to discover new details, play with perspective, and think about all the patterns I’ve found in a lifetime of making things.You can see all the new stuff I’ve been working on at the encore reception of Journey to Terra Flora at Galeria Regina Saturday, August 17th, 5-9pm.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out last night!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out last night! The show turned out great, and I’ve really enjoyed sharing it with you. It’s been fantastic collaborating with such hardworking talented artists @danielcurranart. Special thanks to @ryshu for planning and organizing this show on top of making awesome work and Galeria Regina for hosting another wonderful show. If you missed the opening or want to take a second look, the art will continue to hang through August, and we’ll have an encore reception August 17th. I’ll be posting more behind the scenes photos here in the meantime .

Sneak peak

Sneak peak at some blossoms waiting patiently for the art show. I can’t wait to take some good pictures of these!  One of my favorite things about mold making getting to experiment with different looks on one sculpture.  Each flower is a little different and completely one of a kind.These and more will be at Journey to Terra Flora, opening July 13th at Galeria Regina. Hope to see you there!

Starting something new

Epoxy clay works best when used in layers so that there’s a solid support to work against. To start, I made a core form with monster clay, covered it with plastic, and sculpted the flower upside down on top. After the clay cured, I used a rotary tool to refine the shape. Next up, I’ll sculpt the stem.
