The long pause. Some time has passed since my last update and for good reason. A few weeks back I returned from artist residency at the Harold Arts Residency where a new project was being conceived and born. Just as soon as I was back in Chicago it was off to Tampa Florida for some quality time with the parents, sand and surf, and what turned out to be a sad night at Tropicana Fields. But, here I am back again with no vacation or travels in the near future.

It is great to see a fellow artist using text in a similar manner to my own work. Dodge's use of text for these small sculptural works provides the catalyst for interaction and theatricality.
