Artist Initiative

I fulfilled this goal by not only completing a large wall installation measuring 8' tall by 24' long comprised of just under one thousand individually thrown and altered porcelain pieces but also by having a one person exhibition of this work at the Northern Clay Center. This in turn led to two further invitations for exhibitions in museums. These exhibitions are currently on display with new work; at the Plains Art Museum as part of Red River Reciprocity: Contemporary Ceramics in Minnesota and North Dakota, and at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. 2: I have completed a short video documenting the creation and installation of my new body of work titled INCONTEXT. My plan to have 2 articles ready for magazine submissions changed during the course of the year as I learned that magazines will not accept articles paid for by the artist. I solved this dilemma by asking writer Janet Kolplos to write an essay about my work for the exhibition at Northern Clay Center. The essay has been posted on Northern Clay Center’s website as well as on my own new website. In addition I have just found out that there will be an article published in Ceramics Art and Perception Dec 2014 by Rob Silberman about the exhibition at Northern Clay Center. The May issue of Ceramics Monthly will also include my installation from Red River Reciprocity: Contemporary Ceramics in Minnesota and North Dakota in their Upfront section. The photo documentation has enabled me to revamp my website as well as apply for future exhibitions.
