These mixed media exhibit will include photos, 13 wall pieces and a draped structure installation. In his Untitled series (two shown here) uses acrylic, hardwoods and marine vinyle to make natural and organic forms.
The also untitled installation (draped structure) is inspired by the act of driving over bridges. He taes that language that exists in a bridge and references the engineering and physics fo the structure--a form different from organic forms like human bodies.
