The Steve Show at Corktown Studios!

Steve and I collaborated to put up an implied shelter structure for our show at Corktown Studios. This is our first large permanent public piece.
Inside the gallery there are proposals posted for this piece and future pieces. A detailed proposal worked out in Rhino really helps to make a quick installation. The entire piece was put together onsite in three days.

TechShop Celebrates Its First Year!

Andrea is an elite fighter pilot.
It may not have been the fastest bike in the race, but it did turn some heads.

Silent Collaboration Proposal!

A sketch for my first performance collaboration with Steve McShane.  I have heard that the best workers can work together in total silence.  They set about their tasks and intuitively know when to assist one another. In this work we bring our shop into the gallery space to test how well we can work together while diagnosing and repairing an old motorcycle.
