New Studio, New Job, More time

It's been way too long since I last posted on this blog and a lot has changed in my life. I acquired a spacious studio in the INscape building in the International District of Seattle last April. I quit my day job in June and now after a Summer full of lots of art camps, I have lots of time to spend in the studio working of new pieces. I've begun a new large styrofoam piece (big surprise), but with a totally different formal concern and a much more specific conceptual concern. I'm calling it Mountainscape right now, and instead of the usual airy, suspended form this one is supposed to feel a little more massive and heavy. The architectural edges from the molded styrofoam contrasting the natural looking "eroded" surface is one of my favorite aspects of the piece.
