Playground Detroit grand opening!

Steve McShane and I got a chance to show Revolving Exchanges for the first time in the city at Playground Detroit's new gallery space on Gratiot Ave.

Let there be light!

The sculpture pad mobile gantry is up and running.  This will be a great asset for foundry pours and large fabrication projects. Back to work!

Forging at the Scrap Art Festival in Midtown.

NOMAD Hot Metal Cart out and about.

Detroit Rotterdam Exchange

Jacob's Ladder Duet was a piece created during a concept exchange show between Detroit and Rotterdam.  The concept I received requested a performance take place between a few people playing variations of a "slap stick" instrument.  The sound that instrument makes reminded me of the childhood classic riffed on here.

Another first! Ceramics.

These are my first ceramic pieces since high school.  The first wheel thrown ones ever.  We fired them with waste oil to cone 11 in 3 hours. That's what happens when you put metal artists in charge of the firing. 

House on Horton updates

The House on Horton is looking good after a couple months work.  New windows on the second floor, paint all around and a fresh mural by Kevin McCoy.  More demolition this winter and hopefully it'll host its first show in the first half of 2016. 

Fortress's First Iron Pour!

Thanks to Scott Berels and Steve McShane for helping get the cupolette together.  I look forward to many more pours with this beast!
