Pollen Spores and Asteroids

These images of pollen spores, bacteria, coral, shells and planetesimals are part of my source material for the textile and ceramic sculptures I am currently working on . . .










Scanning electron microscope image of pollen grains from a variety of common plants: sunflower (Helianthus annuus), morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), prairie hollyhock (Sidalcea malviflora), oriental lily (Lilium auratum), evening primrose (Oenothera fruticosa), and castor bean (Ricinus communis).

Wire and Textile Sculptures

I am working on some new textile and wire sculptures that are an extension or a continuation of the Cavus sculptures.  Reworking the armatures to be less expensive, yet still flexible and lightweight. Not sure if I will still be able to get the organic, airy feel while still referencing organisms and atoms.

I have also decided to create some unique and interesting business cards and finish up my website. Not sure what is more work - creating the art or finding a venue so that others can see it...
