2 and 1/2 D Cinema
For once, it seems like my workshops for children and my own art-making have collided in an obvious way. After running workshops and drawing classes for children for many years, as well as observing/guiding my own children, I have an intuition into what makes (some) kids tick. At the same time, I have been spending … Read more

January 2011: Happy New Gear
Of course, it is traditional to take a new start in the New Year. Not necessarily in a new direction. So, if you decide to just crank it up a bit, it’s time for a New Gear… With the Masters now behind and no more studio space, it is time to unwrap all the work … Read more

Finally, after almost 15 months of focused research, trial, object-making, discussions, critique, thinking, frustrations, confusions, epiphanies, doubt, hopes, more object-making, research, listening, reading, writing… and living, the time has come to put it all together into a “show” in a gallery for the world to see.
