The start to this blog has been slow, but my 2010 New Year's resolution is to become a more active blogger. I am making new drawings and paintings weekly, and will try to keep everyone posted on studio developments. But first, some collaborations...
A Conversation that Never Ends!, cut paper, 155"x78" - this work was included in Cumulus Part I
at Paragraph Gallery from January 15th-February 11th.
Sculptor Juniper (TJ) Tangpuz and I have been working on several collaborations since December that have been included in Cumulus I and II at Paragraph Gallery. TJ and I created two cut stencil pieces influenced by our love for comics and obsessive paper- cutting. "A Conversation that Never Ends!" uses the complex language of comic word bubbles to depict an open-ended dialogue.

The Cumulus exhibitions showcase the work of 2009 Urban Culture Project Studio Residents, who submitted proposals for collaborative projects. Supported by Charlotte Street Foundation, the openings were packed and the exhibition demonstrated Kansas City's strong shift to interactive, performance and community-based works. "Cumulus Part II" is currently on display until March 11th.
Our response to "Never-ending" was a multi-layered piece that involved a deeper investigation of speech balloon forms. In "A Discussion in B Minor," many forms begin to hover on the edge of representation and create coded images for the viewer to decipher.
