If that sounds like hyperbole I promise you it has not.

I am returning to Austin (literally – I am writing this from DFW) ready to focus on a series of work – pieces that share a common aesthetic and which explore related ideas. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time but couldn’t quite find within myself – until this week.

How did I get there?

Exceptional feedback and prodding — from Steve Klein and Richard Parrish, residency peers, and some excellent artists who visit – played a huge part.

A world class facility and school staff also had a lot to do with it.

Add to those what we affectionately called “ass time” – just sitting and doing.

More details to come. Join us for slides and more this Friday at the studio at 7 PM. Until then here are some more photos:

It is too late – and I am much too tired – for a long post. I will, though, leave you with this photo of the strip bowl master Steve Immerman doing – you guessed it – cutting strips!
