Conference Calls (November 7, 2019)

Here is my latest tree composition. I titled it “Conference Calls”.

Experimental Drawing (October 29, 2019)

Experimental drawing I did awhile back but just finished it. I am not sure how to categorize it. It was a piece that I worked compositionally from all four sides. Of course this is the orientation I started with and ended up with, which is almost always the case.

Honeysuckle Void (October 21, 2019)

Dinah Devoto and I finished our sculpture this weekend. The idea was to cut down the invasive honeysuckle and create a sculpture with it. I call it “Honeysuckle Void”. That is Dinah in the second photo doing her impression of  DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man.

Honeysuckle Void (September 10, 2019)

Last Saturday I participated in Project Honeysuckle. This was an idea that Dinah Marie Devoto came up with to rid a cemetery/park setting of the invasive honeysuckle growth. Honeysuckle is not native to this area and eventually overgrows the native plant species. Her idea was to chop down the honeysuckle and then use that material for some kind of an art installation. Originally, she and I worked together for four hours in August and we came up with the idea of creating a vertical circle between two trees using the chopped down honeysuckle.
Then last Saturday she invited other people to help and Gray Liv and Ildi joined us to create the structure below. We spent another four hours working on this structure.
I call it, “Honeysuckle Void”. I still think it is not completely finished and would like to spend more time to ‘fill-in’ the areas around the void. However, I am not sure if that will happen or not. If it does, I will post the new photos. The first photo shows the structure as we left it. The second photo shows the structure in the far background, and the third photos shows all of us who worked on the structure last Saturday.

Ohio State Fair (September 4, 2019)

I went to the Ohio State Fair last month and always love looking at the very surreal scenes. Below are some photos

Awhile back I attended a motion media drawing event and in the course of the night someone did a small sketch of me.
