Each of them are currently in exhibitions. <i>Unnerving Anticipation </i>is at the Meadville Coulcil on the Arts,<i> Breathing Exercise </i>is at Youngstown University in Ohio, and <i>Dirty Martini </i>is at "Critics Choice" invitational at the Harlow Gallery in Hallowell, Maine. I'm excited to have already had my work in eight separate exhibitions this year, and in six different states, but I have some haunting questions.<br />
<br />
Each of these pieces are quite different stylistically, formally, in scale and in finish. They're all made by me though. As an artist, Is sticking to a style necessary? Is it appropriate for artists to experiment with different modes of expression? If an artist isn't recognizable, will they be successful?<br />
<br />
I am a student at the moment, and for that reason I suppose that I am given more flexibility to experiment. I am not always compelled to make the same type of work, but I do always work with a concern for the environment as a main source of inspiration. Is this enough? can/should each idea be executed with the same style, or does each scenario deserve a unique approach?<br />
<br />
I will be mulling on these questions during this summer, and hopefully find some confidence to stick to one answer or another, <b>before</b> I start in on my thesis work. <br />

Three other compatriots, Aaron Pickens, Austin Wieland, and Nash Quinn were approaching the same gate, and we decided combine powers and curate a show that would qualify our work as candidates for "Candidacy".<br />
<br />
The work I made for this show continued a conversation that I have been developing with my work. Mythology, humor, heritage and cultural reference all play a part in how I investigate the relationship between humans and the natural world.<br />
I express loss, irony, beauty and the uncanny as a way of reflecting my experience as a participant of the human/nature relationship.<br />

I finished my first year if graduate school, got married to my lovely wife Jodi Carpenter, and made a dinnerware set for a wood-firing that just reached temperature under two days ago. The intention of this post is to wrap up the end of my semester last year. Some images are of older work that I never documented until recently and other images are from pieces I made for the show, entitled <i>Over the river and Through the Woods, </i>that I completed with my classmate <a href="http://dustnhair.blogspot.com/">Jocelyn Howard</a>. The work that I made for this show was my attempt to explore how classic American, Environmental Icons are relevant today. you can probably guess that my outlook is not cheerful. <br />

One is of Sacagawea (bird-woman) wearing a baby board and holding a pink flamingo lawn ornament. The other is the largest of the two and will be about 7 feet long installed. It is a sort of Pieta with Grizzly Adams holding a dead Smokey the Bear.<br />

One area of him that I have altered is his hair. It will be a stylized windswept look, hopefully without looking too carved out. <br />
<br />
I have been trying to figure out why I am putting this crazy hair on him besides just finding it interesting, and in the process was reminded of <a href="http://andreakowch.com/">Andrea Kowch</a>. Shes a contemporary painter that uses a ton of symbolism and her images allude to encroaching low-pressure weather systems. I don't recognize all of the symbols the she uses, or how she is using them (and I believe that that's precisely what she wants), but I do enjoy her homesteading imagery and the feeling of<i> </i>shifting -or something imposing- that her style communicates.<br />

There is a large parking lot there beside a small creek. The parking lot was filled with vehicles of fisherman and curious sightseers like the two of us. Everyone was there to witness the migration of stocked rainbow trout or Steelhead (the migrating variant found wild in the Pacific ocean). There were about 20 men wading hip-deep in the cold November lake water, trying to catch these large fish before they made it into the stream. It is Illegal to fish in this particular stream because the steelhead are packed in so tight that it would be like shooting monkeys in a barrel. They are packed in so tight because there is a dam maybe 400 ft. up stream. The dam was put there intentionally to block the fish from mingling with native species inland, and possibly infecting them. <br />

A great line from the talk: "A puppet struggles to live on stage, and an actor struggles to die on stage. That's an important metaphor for life"<br />
<br />
The solutions they come up with to make the horse and hyena act more alive are beautiful. Also, I am excited to look at how they break down the anatomy of the horse into parts.<br />

I am nowhere close, but I think that I have made some good progress. No stopping until he looks similar enough.<br />
The other issue...This is basically just another bearded guy, and I can not count on the audience knowing who John Muir is. So while considering that, I am in the middle of deciding what other elements to include in this bust. I feel like it needs to be ironic by incorporating an element of modernity, but want to make sure that I an communicating a feeling of respect and reverence towards John. I have some work to do.<br />

Oliver Is a fascinating neurologist and author, and is also a regular guest on the NPR program Radio Lab. I would like to share one of their episodes with the artist Chuck Close and Oliver Sacks both as guests. They discuss how "face blindness" affects their lives, and how each of them deals with their condition.<br />

The firing wasn't absent of the usual anxieties of firing an atmosphere kiln, but I was firing tall figures that were made of earthenware. For the soda ash to collect on the pieces as a glaze the kiln must be fired to at least cone 01 ( I have been told Cone 1 too). I was feeling like the temperature would put too much stress on the figures, and my worry was somewhat right.<br />
As I was peering into the kiln, I was keeping an eye on a 34" standing figure and made mental marks of the inside of the kiln in relation to the profile of said figure. The mental mark and the profile seemed to be getting closer together, but I kept firing. The piece was indeed starting to lean, and in fact the figure was leaning a couple of inches past the mark I had chosen inside the kiln. The kiln wasn't hot enough to melt the soda ash at that time. Was I to turn the kiln off or keep ramping up until it reached temperature? Well, I noticed that the tall figure stopped leaning because it came into contact with a support post that held another figure up. That gave me a bit more time, but I didn't want to chance affecting anything else in the kiln. At this point the cones showed that the temperature was a couple cones behind, but I was skeptical of the reading and figured that deeper in the kiln was hotter than where the cone packs were next to the door. I started spraying in the soda solution. I put some in the two front ports and peered in. Suprisingly, the work had a slight sheen to it, which meant that the soda was volotizing.<br />
I kept spraying in soda for the next half hour and shut the kiln down 5
minutes after the last spray. here are images of the results. The work
was pretty dry where the Terra Sig was but pretty juicy on raw clay. <br />

</div>
It has been slow progress on the lumberjack figure, but he has taken
some good turns. I have been editing the alignment of his structure,
repositioning his arms and neck, and broadening his torso... and also giving him legs and arms. His trusty
blue ox, Babe, has taken the form of a skull that he will be
transporting in some manner. There are still some important decisions that I
need to make about the final existence of the piece and the relationship
between Paul and Babe. <br />
