Ode To A Poodle

poorest of thee - Simon

  thine endearing,   enduring,

          whitest of canvas

does do steppest

   too closely to artist

and must  thusly   to pose,

with oh so saintly of patience

and one’s

 endless,

    abundant

courage...

Cloud Sculpture Series Update

Cloud series of light sculptures are invading the studio...

...violet here we come...

Touching Clouds and Kissing Wind

Random Act of Ar~ting - Wood in Grass, Liberty Station, California, USA

Tonight for the NTC at Liberty Station's Fall Into Art kickoff...

The third sculpture from the pieces of wood that were used in Coronado and Pacific Beach...

I came across some scrap wood left over from a skate park ramp project at the YMCA Krause Family Bike and Skate Park in Claremont, and loved the shapes - I immediately envisioned them as a sculpture.

The pieces are cut from a mix of 1/2 and 2/3 inch plywood and I knew, together, they would make a great piece.

The previous two installations were in the sand, grass was a welcomed challenge today and the wind came out to play which plays really well with some new slender pieces that added an undulating movement to the piece.  

Again no hardware or adhesives were used. 

I love the opportunity to work with balancing the pieces - structurally as well as visually (yum!)

Working in the round, offering the viewer a multitude of perspectives as they walk around the piece, is really exciting too. 

Pill Sculpture - allow Creativity to flow

I LOVE composing - the process is intoxicating. 

Reveling in the unending squeeze to balance,  to challenge the possibilities and then ground the energy, 

turn, 

and do it again... 

exploring the perspective... 

the perspectives... 

who needs drugs?

   allow Creativity to flow.

4th Grade Art Project Update

I am excited to announce that the three pieces entered into the San Diego City's Dare to Reuse Art Project have been selected for publication in the upcoming 2013 calendar.

The pieces will also be displayed in November at the San Diego Children's Museum.

"A Penny for the Arts" Sculpture

Inspired by the San Diego Regional Arts and Culture Coalition's plan to restore the "A Penny for the Arts" tax on hotels.  It is currently only 1/2 a cent.
