This is Colossal

6/17/2018

I was incredibly excited to be featured on the "This is Colossal" arts and culture website earlier this month. I've followed, and been inspired by, the artists and designers that have been featured over the years and I'm truly thrilled that now I'm one of them!

Shoutout to Laura Staugaitis for writing this and to Lustik, the Tumblr account where she found me.

Year of the Dog at Giant Robot

3/1/2018

The Year of the Dog is here!

I'll have two sculptures in the Year of the Dog show (including this pair of Corgie - Finches) at the Giant Robot Store in LA opening this Saturday, March 3. Curated by Cassia Lupo, there are a ton of artists in this show, and who doesn't want to see a bunch of art about dogs?!

Click here for details.

A concurrent reception will be happening at GR2 for the show MOMO NO Sekku.

Natural 20 at TSA LA/ Monte Vista Projects

2/10/2018

Opening tonight, February 10, 7-10 pm, I'll have several works in Natural 20, a collaboration between Austin's ICOSA art collective and artist-run spaces Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles and Monte Vista Projects at the Bendix building in downtown LA.
At this time last week I had no idea that I would have work in this show. In a terrible turn of events, all the artwork shipped to LA from Austin was stolen (story here). As they say, the show must go on, so ICOSA has hand-carried work from Austin, and artist friends from Austin now living in LA were asked to bring in work. This has been a true community effort - come out and see! Through March 4. More details here.

Summer Shows

6/7/2017

I'll have some new and some classic works in group shows at three venues through June and July
in Los Angeles and Orange County. See all the details below!
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Hot Fruit
Cash Machine, Glendale, LA, CA
Opening June 16
Exhibit runs through July 16

I'll have three sculptures in Hot Fruit, presented by NowShop and Moon Tribe Vintage. This installation of one-of-a-kind found and artist-made objects and apparel exploring the boundaries of fine art and functionality and the intersection of art and commodity.

The exhibition, including work by over 30 artists and makers, blends retail display and conventional gallery aesthetic into a continuously evolving installation, which changes as works are purchased and new pieces are introduced. More details here.

Many Faced Panda, 4" tall. Available at Hot Fruit.

Feast. 5" tall. Available at Cactus Gallery.

Something Wild In My Garden
Cactus Gallery, Los Angeles, CA
Opening June 10
Exhibit runs through July 15

Something Wild in My Garden will be exploring the plight of urban wildlife. Many of our furry and feathered friends have been evicted from their habitat by an exploding human population who in their search for progress are destroying their natural environment. In turn wildlife are forced into ‘residential areas’, placing their own and their neighbors’ pets in jeopardy, in order to find food for survival.

I'll have two new sculptures in this exhibit. More details here.

Art of Protest
Orange County Center for Contemporary Art
Santa Ana, CA
Opening June 3
Exhibition runs through July 8

I created a second iteration of my Pussy Grabs Back sculpture (shown in the Nasty Women exhibition in January) for Art of Protest juried by Tyler Stallings. This exhibit includes works from 90 artists throughout the nation. More details here.

From the Juror:
The arc of history bends toward justice. Protest art speeds things along. Protest art afflicts the comfortable and comforts the afflicted. Protest art imagines a future free from the tyranny of ignorance and deprivation.

I Just Start Kissing...I Don't Even Wait. 6" tall. Available through OCCCA.
