We worked solid the week after the Fourth holiday! Rochelle and I are in a good groove of working together, and working full days. Things are moving right along, and we are pleased the results. To add icing to the cake, we are having fun!
Laying out the completed panels for the first time on the patio to see the progress.

The first crate Rochelle constructed to transport the panels. The shelves come out to load and unload. A door will be attached, to seal for transport.

I created this work in the fall of 2023, with the intention of entering it into the Contemporary Mosaic Art juried exhibition in Eugene, Oregon, in May of 2024. I am pleased to announce that it was accepted, and will be shown at the New Zone Gallery in Eugene from April 30 – May 31 2024.
Rhythm and Renewal takes a discarded piece of jagged, rusty metal and gives it new life as the focal point of a new wall sculpture. I’m thinking about the traditions and rhythms of the past as anchors to ground me as I move through life. Always juxtaposed on the order is the ongoing journey through the messy and the unknown, with the goal of crafting a satisfying life.
