An older sculpture of mine but I’m feeling sentimental...

I make meaning out of materials with the hope to connect, so I like to wear my shirt ‘Be Brave’. I think being brave is required for an artist to put everything out there and to risk rejection.

Hope you can make my opening this Thursday the 18th at Parker Projects Gallery in Vancouver 5-7pm. It’s a group exhibition, I’m exhibiting with several talented painters and a printmaker.

I made this sculpture mounted from the ceiling, I’m happy with it although what you don’t see is the many, many hours of making and breaking a form to get the exact shape I’m looking for. I call this ‘practice’ and I believe it’s as important in visual art as in music.
