Wrapping up Spring Semester 2013

It has been a while since I have done a post in here, but a lot has happened since my last post. 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 Over the river and Through the Woods, that I completed with my classmate Jocelyn Howard. 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.

After a lot of musing, I decided to call this sculpture If a Bear Falls in the Woods. The whole piece is over 6 feet long

Studio Work Is Finally Starting to Come Into Focus

I have been working on two large pieces for a show that Jocelyn Howard and I will be installing the last week in March. 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.
