APRIL, 2013
Work has begun - at least enough to get an image for the invite card… this element will be one small part of exhibition, and not yet finished. Switch gear still to be fitted and programming done but enough for a first image in-situ in the convict built Bond Store basement in Hobart, Tasmania.
I have arrived in Hobart, Tasmania, to work on my upcoming exhibition here. For the next couple of months this great space will be my studio:
Detached - a mixed use space for exhibitions, performance, and artist residencies
The interior, one end anyway...MARCH, 2013In August I will be an Artist in Residence at Pilchuck Glass School. Should be interesting to mess around with some glass working processes!
More info on the Session 6 program, of which I am part, here.
FEBRUARY, 2013My work is featured in the latest issue (#4) of on-line magazine DOTS digital art magazine.

Water level in my studioReturned home after Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy had been through New York to find my studio had been flooded by 30" up to 36" of salty water. Lost most of my tools - more upsetting was the loss of several artworks. However many lost much more than that so in many ways it is not so bad for me.
