Foundation for a Canadian Home, 2010

Lithography and Silkscreen 11" x 15"

This is one of the houses near completion as seen in the Contextual show at the Untitled Art Society in Calgary. The top image is a detail from the piece. The box to the right has a sensor that when tripped, causes a light to come on.

new maquettes

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.

Failures/works in progress

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.
