a la Mickey Smith

Occasionally I receive photos from friends ( + strangers) "a la Mickey Smith". I love them. Oh yes, and "a la peanut butter sandwiches!", along with Heather Everhart at the helm, the blog is back.

Earth Day

Collocation NATURE is being produced in Germany this month. We're still on schedule for installation in the first week of June! 

there's something i've been meaning to tell you...

I've been meaning to tell you that the show of the same title is up at Marty Walker Gallery in Dallas, Texas. The show closes tomorrow. There is a great slideshow of all the text based art up on the Marty Walker blog.

München, Germany

Apologies for falling from the face of the earth, into facebook. (It's evil.) Until a few weeks ago I didn't realize this blog had a single reader... So I'm back and will make an effort to post once a week. 

I'm definitely in production vs. exhibition mode, a welcome change. New projects coming up, along with some new work on the Volume project. Recently I took a last minute flight to Munich and spent five thrilling days in the Franz Mayer studio. (A photo album is up on  facebook.) The public art project I'm working on is a Collocation called NATURE. Sixteen 40 x 60 inch glass panels to be mounted in the new Biomedical Sciences Building at the University of Florida this June. (As if you needed another reason to head to Gainesville this summer?)

This is my first major public art commission, and although I have been on the other side of the desk for this process, I must admit the learning curve is oh so high. I'm relishing in the challenge and will be sure to keep the blog update with a few progress reports... Promise. 

Part of my  team in Munich - Michael and Klaus working reviewing samples fresh from the kiln at Franz Mayer.

Close up of the type sandblasted into the glass. Not sure if you can tell, but there were three different painting styles to choose from...
