Been a while since I posted last. In the last two months I've been quite distracted. Started working at the Ceramic Shop full time, got two peices into the Our Community show at The Clay Studio and applied for the Graduate program at Ohio State. Getting nervous waiting for their response.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the new slides I had taken of some recent work. Hoping to get back into making. I signed up to take a mold making class this coming spring session at the clay studio, and in April I have a group show in Baltimore at The Brickhaus Art Space, and the work exchange show in June. Gotta keep chugging.<br />

Almost finished with Into the Abyss (The Road to Glory), just need to paste in the photo and it is all set to go. It reminds me of the neurons shooting in a brain, and makes me want to not include the figure and rename it Into the Abyss (Inside the Brain of a Poof). Here is a full view, close up, and a video of the closeup. Sorry, it is all taken from my phone, so the quality is a little rough<br />

I'm putting together proposals and drawings for new work as part of my application for the Seto International Art Exchange - Artist in Residence Program. I looks like a great program and Seto, Japan, has over 1300 years of history making Ceramics. I'm really excited about the possibility of traveling abroad again, as it provides me with crucial inspiration for my work. Here is the first of my proposals for some of the work I want to make.  a description is typed onto the image.

In preparation for show in September, I've begun <i>Into the Abyss (The Road to Glory)</i>. It's an LED Mirror based photographic sculpture... I built a foam heart, and I'm covering it in silk roses. On n the front a 6x6" two-way mirror will be inset, and on the back an 8x8" regular mirror will be attached. A photograph of me in costume will be attached to the mirror on the back, and the inside will be covered in small roses with LED lights in the centers. The result should be what appears to be the Dooman skipping through an endless tunnel of roses, since the mirrors reflecting each other should appear to be endless. I'm getting pretty excited about it. More on the show in another post sometime this week after I get more details.
