Today, Radley had a malignant tumor removed from his leg. We are so blessed that it did not spread.

I have a piece in a great show opening this weekend at Principle Gallery in Alexandria, VA.

A Gallery of my "freaky" work appears at Trendhunter....

A Flickr sneak peak of "Embodiment", an 8-person exhibition opening at the Green Hill Center in Greensboro, NC on Feb 8.

New statement:

One of the functions of art is to strip us bare, reminding us of the fragility common to every human being across continents and centuries. Often, I will meet someone, and the visible weight of his or her life becomes almost unbearable to me, it rips me open. The objects that I make are an attempt to articulate this feeling.

I give birth to the tactile as I am swallowed by the virtual. I obsess over craft as our world becomes disposable. I wield emotion in its messiness because it's uncool. I work until my hands shake, because the world does not care.

I am banging my head against the wall, but the stain is beautiful.

One of my "Art World Truths" pieces will be at the Miami International Art Fair this weekend at the Miami Beach Convention Center, in the Chelsea Galleria booth.
