The Next Suit!

So after a great workshop with the Wire Working Magician Ellen Wieske, I have felt draw once more to work with steel wire! Bouncing off some rough sketches, I'm in pursuit of my next performance suit utilizing 12 gauge steel wire along with stretchable nylon fabric. I'm at the moment remaining very playful with the material and simply just having some fun as its about time I do so. 

This last semester out at COA, I have been working very tight and very focused on small scale detailed work, hinges especially (Thanks Tim, Bob and Ellen for the tips). It is a breath of fresh air to return to more large scale sculptural work and I'm excited to see where it will lead!

Recently, I was accepted into the 2013 SupBrooch Exhibition juried by Cortland Dewitt and Sharon Massey. Thank you both for providing this opportunity.... Actually, its about darn time an exhibit like this is up because you I'm all about a good man brooch! SO Total props!

And finally, I have also been accepted to the 2014 Hand Crafted Exhibition at Imperial Art Center in Rocky Mount, NC. The piece would be my previous suit which i have titled the Embossment Suit.
