New Website!

2011-12-06T18:47:00.000-08:00

I've created a new website at www.hhuston.com. Its pretty basic but allows you to access my work more easily as it is categorized and arranged in gallery format. My CV is up there as well as a blog with updates on my recent trip to china to attend the 3rd Qijiang International Print Festival.

I'll be posting more through there, please link to my site for more up to date info on my work and practice.

new maquettes

2009-11-16T14:12:00.000-08:00

Here are the four maquettes for the pieces I'm currently working on. The pictures aren't great but they give you a bit of an idea of what's on the go. The finished works will have colour, furnitures, wallpaper and moving parts. I'm trying to figure out motors and gears etc which should be interesting as I'm generally mechanically inept.

I haven't posted recently as I've been in the studio working on some dimensional works. Since this is relatively new territory for me, I've been producing a lot of failures and half-starts. Here are a couple of works that provided me with some interesting ideas but didn't go anywhere themselves.
