Current Work
I have found that I am not solely a studio artist. I know how to work in a studio and I’ve got lots of conventional studio skills, but it really doesn’t engage me week in week out. I realize that what I am really interested in is the tourism outside my front door.
My research is about working with entropy. I’m drawn to buildings as metaphor for system breakdowns – and as opportunities to learn more about how humans interface with the world through architecture. I use neglected… Continue

Big Ass Indie Craft Show
AB, went to the Big Ass show today. It is a fun event. Looked at you pieces and loved them, especially the fret work necklaces. I was hoping that you would be there but you were probably at Lady Bug. Hope to see you at an SMM meeting sometime this year. Oh, by-the-way, your business cards are lovely, ditto the postcard.
