Phoenix Art Museum Installation: Contemporary forum






 Hey Folks, boy have I been busy.  This is part of my installation at the Phoenix Art museum.  I've begun my residency at the Livery in Scottsdale and I've been working there in earnest.  Here is the making of the X-Ray machine.  If you want to see the final piece check out the Contemporary Forum show at the Phoenix Art Museum or check it out on my website under "Little Terrors".

More Making-of to come
 MDF sure is nice

 
 Hey, check it out....

 It folds up so you can put it away!

 Creepy stuff in the mail.

 Perdy colors.

 Sometimes I think I should just make great looking multiples of nothing.

 no indigo.

 Getting there.

Sorry, no making-of here... just done.

Funbeams Part 2

This Saturday was a great time at the Phoenix Art Museum.  I have a few more in-progress images followed by images at the event itself.  Thanks a bunch to Liz Lohr, Kara Roschi and the rest of the crew at ASUAM for a super smooth event.  If you want to see more pictures please go to my official site under "Public Art".

Spooning, golf ball balance

All smiles. 

Open wide

"Feed me Seymour!"

A long way up.

Funbeams Part 1



 So, the Sawstop works... Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the ASU Art Museum and I was commissioned to do a game for their First Saturday Family day in February.  I have a lot coming up between the Phoenix Art Museum and the Scottsdale Public Library installations, but I was interested in the offer, so I went for it.

I decided to make a Cornhole game using some of the established icons I have come up with and from there several smaller games sprouted up.  It should be a really fun day of games and activities.
It opens this Saturday (february 6th) from 11am-3pm

I will post more images as I get them.  I hope to see you there!
