The Long Year

The Long Year is about a particularly rough time in our lives. We lost a daughter to domestic violence. As we worked through this we spent a lot of time out along the river, where, as always, I picked up stones.
The stones ended up combined with Mexican Smalti glass, both cut glass and two glass “tortillas” to make this piece about unanswerable questions, and healing.
selling stuff
I make things because my demons won't give me any peace until I make something for us – mosaics, sculpture, drawings, books, stickers, furniture, tools...
I sell some of what I make, sometimes... when I can let go of it.
Often the work I sell is work created especially for a person. Commissions, pieces created as a collaboration between us, something that takes shape in our minds during a number of conversations, eventually making its way out into the physical world. Other times people just see something I've made and want to have it.
Books and stickers I just make, in large numbers. People buy them if they like them.
