“Invocation Through Fabrication” (Success in Business, Key of Solomon)
Neon, tar, spandex
36", Neon and chrome paint
Exhibited at Stephanie Chefas Gallery, Portland, 2016 as a part of solo exhibition entitled, "Colorways".
Impulsive squiggle drawn with pen on paper and then enlarged to-scale. Neon pattern made from enlargement and glass is bent directly onto the enlarged pattern. A direct replica is made from the smaller impulsive drawing paying closer attention to and prolonging a fleeting moment in time.
3'x3'x3', cinder block, neon, chrome paint, transformer, 2017
Exhibited at Athen B Gallery, Oakland.
Neon is supporting the leaning weight of the cinder block.
4'x3'x4', cinder blocks, neon, transformer and spandex, 2017
Investigation of Process and Intent: The yearning to stay fluid and organic in a rigid process, the anxieties of the medium and the exposed guts of it all. Title of work is inspired by my mentor, Roger Daniells, veteran neon bender, who uses his own idioms as a substitution for frustration. "Pass me the hammer. A BIG FUCKING HAMMER."
