I just added a new little piece to my portfolio titled “Hang on, it gets better“:
“The discovery of an image of boys climbing the rope in gym class brought back some early trauma for me. This piece takes a look at the sort of world in which such an activity could be considered relevant in preparation for adult life.”
Materials:
Equipment case, radio tuning dial cover, doorbell button, magazine clippings, voltage meters, LEDs.
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting artist Al Honig in his San Francisco studio. He’s definitely a sculptor after my own heart, a lifelong hoarder of wonderful things. He is on the verge of some structural changes to his studio, and a shift in his creative process that led him to invite me to help myself to his awesome supply of treasures! It was a huge treat to peruse such a carefully curated trove of found objects. Below is a collection of images from the visit, and the resulting pile of stuff that made it back to my studio. Countless creative possibilities here.
Thanks for your tremendous generosity Al!
