Spring Update!

Its been busy! So busy! A good kind of busy! A show application here, a stone being set over there, a rusty bottle cap is found, and on occasion a break in the evening for a cold beer with a beautiful sunset! I woke up this morning and realized that I have 37 days in Columbia, NC until I leave for Arrowmont to take part in their Studio Assistantship program. This will be my first visit back since summer 2012, an amazing experience! This is very exciting, invigorating, and potentially life changing as anything could happen. I'm ready for the new challenges that await but also a bit anxious, this is a very human feeling though. Following immediately after Arrowmont, I will be taking a week long workshop as a workstudy student at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. So it will be a busy summer but more than looking forward to the experiences!

 In other news! I received an Honorable Mention in the 3rd Annual World Champion Belt Buckle Competition! Thank you Bryan Peterson and Daniel Icaza for this honor! Great Show and some great buckles!

I was also recently featured in a short 2 minute UNC film project about my work and my time in Columbia, NC! Great job Catherine Hemmer and keep up the good work!

Redefining Rubble

With seven-foot robots, mechanized fish brooches, light-up ray guns and other fantastical pieces, Greg Orloff has quite the portfolio. Upon moving to Columbia as an artist in residence for Pocosin Arts, Greg began exploring the Scuppernong River and collecting discarded objects to create art. Greg is inspired by science fiction and references the imagination of his ten-year old self, looking to challenge the ideas of society and push boundaries, in “little social experiments.”
