Smoke Screens open six more days at Joe Bar!!

Thanks everyone who made it out to the opening, and everyone who has gone to see the show during the last 3 weeks and let me know what they think.  In case you haven't had a chance to make it by, the show will be up through November 10th.  

Joe Bar Cafe work is up!

The work is up and it looks great.  Deep thanks go out to Ben Beres for giving me the opportunity to present my work in this amazing location as well as to Steven Vroom for installation suggestions and general consultation.  Also to the wonderful staff at Joe Bar Cafe for their welcoming attitude and patience.

Smoke Screens: Clouds and Exhaust - New Work at Joe Bar October 10th!

I’m happy to announce the opening of a solo exhibition of my most recent work at Joe Bar Café.  While I refer to these works as collage, I have heard them described as drawings, stained glass and plat maps.  These comparisons are reinforced by a recent emphasis on lines interacting with the quartered cumulus cloud motif recurrent in my work.  Each piece is constructed primarily of translucent adhesive backed vinyl and other tape on architectural vellum between two sheets of acrylic held together with standoff hardware allowing light to pass through.  The whole of this series has never been shown in Seattle and almost all works to be displayed are new.   

 Show dates October 10^th – Nov 10^th 

Opening Thursday October 10^th 6pm – 9pm.   

Hope to see you there!

Open Studio September 14th.  Noon - 6pm.
The INSCAPE artist's studios will be opening their doors to Autumn.  There will be live music, performance and lots of art to see.
