THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS
For the month of December, artist Jordan Buschur and I show in the two-person exhibit, “Article,” at PLEAT: an online gallery founded by curator, director, educator and artist, Bethanie Irons.

UNION OF THE STATE
It is hard to imagine Washington D.C. today as anything other than a laager of criticism, circumlocution and cynicism split on reform. So confounding has become the rhetoric on the front line that its daily reporting usually poses “Who will be jumping on the bandwagon this time?” For Superfine! – The Fair founders Alex Mitow and James Miille there is but one course: to hitch their wagon to a star and inspire the next ...

LOOKING BACK, FORWARD
A lot has happened since my show, Anatomy of Resilience, opened at Karsh-Masson Gallery, City Hall Ottawa a couple of months ago. The days got longer.

PAPER, PURPOSE, PERSEVERANCE
My first solo exhibit at a Canadian public gallery opens tonight at Karsh-Masson Gallery, City Hall; Ottawa, Canada. The show is titled, Anatomy of Resilience, and it features my signature paper objects and surfaces.
