So during my last trip to NYC, I was in the process of making some new work in Peter Reginato's studio. He's been very kind to me in letting me work some in his place. I didn't get too far that trip with my work but I did get the basic structure done for what was eventually to become HIVE #1. A new development in my work, delving into perception and seeing how deep I can get into ideas of perception and comprehension of vision.
I got here in May and began working on the piece again. This time I definitely knew more of what I wanted to do and how to go about doing it. Funny how you think you know what you are doing when trying something new but after you actually attempt it, you are blessed with so many new thoughts on how you will make the next one and the next one. Ideas flow like water. Get out there and stick your hand under the faucet.
Fast forward to June 13th. I had my first one person show at Reginato Studio in Soho. I presented a large group of work to fellow patrons and friends, and the reception was wonderful. Lots of great conversations and lots of wonderful warm feelings after.
When I spoke with Peter about my upcoming trip to the big town, I asked if he'd be into helping me do an exhibition in his loft, he agreed and we sat about making it happen. One thing I really wanted to accomplish was to have two large paintings to really show off the depth of what I do. Unfortunately only one got made but it is a stunner nonetheless. I also was able to finish up a number of Rope artworks for exhibition. So what the public was seeing was a true overview of almost ALL the types of work that I do. From Paintings on the wall to freestanding paintings, to the cube structures.
Well, enough talk. Here's the pics courtesy of Peter Reginato, Allen Strombosky and Francine Tint.
And now photos with people in them....

Wish I could have gotten photos with the other people who were in attendance, so many wonderful people stopped by and we didn't get pics.
Thanks for coming by. The show is still on until the end of the month but you need to get in touch to make an appointment as these are very busy times. THANKS!
