Caricature of the Human Form
Ink on Canvas,
16in x 20in
Two incomplete works of art; one further in development than the other. One is unfinished due to trying new techniques and developing a new process of working with ink while the other was halted due to returning to an old medium and being paralyzed by fear that the finished product won’t look as good as it does in my head or as my former works. I have a lot of pieces unfinished in my home and often times work on several things at once. Many pieces never get completed but these two have been in development since the summer and have an importance for my artistic ventures; Exploring new forms of expression and returning to a neglected art form.

OSHA is this okay?
Bronze, Plywood, Paper,
15in x 11in x 4in
This bronze hand was cast many years ago as an experiment in manipulating foundry wax and has moved with me from different shops and studios over the past decade. Having spent a majority of that decade in industrial spaces and around industrial metalworking machinery, I noticed that the mangled and unnatural shape of the hand resembles the imagery on common warning signs on industrial machinery. Paired with the signage, it becomes a humorous and grotesque commentary on otherwise serious warning labels.
