A preview...

A sneak peek of the 100 Chairs installation!

When it rains, it pours

Aftermath: the greyscale ink palette from the 100 Chairs...

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Everything is framed and ready to hang for the Chairs show. I took a few days off from the studio to catch my breath. The universe had other plans for me.

Stay tuned for some very exciting news in the next couple of days...

Four

Four very different iterations from the final 30 or so I did in the series. I can't wait to see all 100 hanging up in a grid.

Inversion

I go through seasons with my sketchbook. Lately I have been focusing on other projects and my upcoming show, so it got put on the back burner. But I've been experimenting with the paper cuts and what better place to experiment than a sketchbook?

The left hand page was assembled from all the scraps leftover at the end of the night.
