One of my Tree Ring pieces has been included in an exhibition entitled Sustainability at the Diane Kidd Gallery at Tiffin University in Tiffin, OH. My piece has been chosen as the PR image. The show will run from March 20 through April 17.
Two Sculptures this Summer
I'll have large sculptures in two shows this summer. SculptureNow in Lenox, MA in June, and Brooklyn Art Lot in Red Hook in September, will both feature large (roughly 20 x 30 x 2') sculptures based on the small wooden sculptures I've been making for the last two years.

The Quinnipiac River Bottled
Yale’s Peabody Museum invited me to create an installation for Earth Day. My solution was a 100+ foot-long model of the Quinnipiac River, made of plastic water bottles. There was a water truck on site filled with Quinnipiac River water and thousands of empty bottles. I filled bottles all day and placed them in the outline of the river. Visitors participated in the construction of the river, using either their own bottles or those provided.
The Yale Daily News, the West Hartford News, the New Haven Independent, and the New Haven Register all covered the event.

Four Shows this Autumn
Todd Keyser has curated a show at Gross Mccleaf Gallery in Philadelphia called The Romantic Impulse, and included an edition of my underwater photographs printed at 16 × 12″. It is on view from August 2 – 31.
On September 28 in Chicago I will have four or five pieces at Dock 6 Design and Art.
In November I am going to Paris, where I’ll have work in Jeune Creation. The show will be open from November 3 through 11. It is held in Le Centquatre, near the Gare Est train station. (Notice that they used one of my images for the advertising.) Jeune Creation is a very large show featuring around sixty young artists from all over the world. I’ll show some photographs, drawings and small sculptures.
From November 9 through January 17 I will be an occasional artist-in-residence atArtSpace in New Haven, where I’ll have work in the show Martha Lewis is curating called Instructions Not Included. She has asked that I show some of the Sound Objects, which I’m currently redressing. During the residency I will set up a work station in the gallery, where visitors can watch me tinker.
