NEW WORK:Towards

Towards
a site specific installation
My newest work will be opening today, during Art-a-Whirl in Northeast Minneapolis.
This site specific installation presented by Spotart Gallery was actually created in response to a strange little hidden room which lost its utility after a remodel. The piece explores light and color both natural and manmade, imagery both banal and surreal, objects found as well as fabricated, and is my first foray into using the ungovernable element of live plants. I'm pretty excited, and also slightly terrified about this last part. The room will look different throughout the day depending on the weather and hour of light.


The piece will be up for about 5 weeks, so you have plenty of time to see it, however, if you would like to visit  I will be around plenty this weekend. The other artists showing in the gallery are presenting some truly amazing work so this is definately worth a stop in. In fact there are even two receptions-- this Friday and Saturday night, May 20 & 21, from 7-11pm. As well, I will be gallery sitting Saturday after 3pm for a few hours. If you are out art-a-whirling, come say hi.
