Scarves Almost Ready!

It has been a hectic, but productive few weeks.  Zoe and I are together again in San Francisco!

While getting accustomed to a new city and getting moved into an apartment, we have been working on quite a few different projects: a few prints, drawings, potentially a new book project... AND we're completing new scarves!

Once we have ironed the fabric and hemmed the edges, we will upload proper photographs with purchase information!

New Work

Researchers at the University of Iowa have recently discovered that there are a series of portals in the Earth's magnetic field, which periodically open and close throughout the day.  These invisible, elusive, and unstable portals are capable of transporting particles at high speed from the Sun's atmosphere's to Earth's, causing geomagnetic storms.

New Fabric Pieces

Zoe and I have been working on some new fabric pieces.


We already have them printed onto fine organic silk, we just haven't made the cuts or hemmed the edges.  


But here are some preview pictures of the original designs.

As Comfortable... (Photo Documentation Part 2)

Here is the last set of photographs from the "As Comfortable As A Wool Bikini" show with Kyle Smith, in Glasgow at studio 41.


We'll have another update shortly, as Zoe and I just finished some new fabric pieces...

As Comfortable As A Wool Bikini (Photo Documentation)

The show has now officially closed, thank you to all the people that came!  


If you didn't get a chance to drop by Studio 41 to see my + Zoe's "Lost Sheep" pieces, or Kyle Channing Smith's work - I thought I should share a few photo's featured in the installation, the intro for the show reel I made, and a fast walkthrough video... 


I have more documentation of the show itself, but I need to confirm that I have permission to share the images of Kyle's work... so there might be another posting about the show later this week (including her pieces, photo's of the opening, and the works as installed at the location.)

Degree Show Documentation (Part 3 of 3)

Before we publish some photo's from "As Comfortable As A Wool Bikini" ... Here is the final set of photographs of my work at the MFA Degree Show


Pictured are excerpts from my print series 'It Was Real...' 


(There are 20 images in the full set, with related sculptural pieces... transforming a 'set of images' into an 'installation piece' but size/ space constraints at the show made it impossible to show everything)


 Each image is approximately 28 inches x 40 inches; printed in an edition of 10
[Some images available outside of the full series]
