Whew, doing this with thick wire is another level! 🎨🎨

Just a lovely little composition I walked by:

… and, 🎨 Day 30!! Interactive toy-like projects lead us back to my latest book, which is also a playable marble maze. Here’s a (rough-cut!) video:

🎨 Day 29
Light Toys, 2019 Here I was trying to make objects which could be played with—but which didn’t read so explicitly as childlike.
-
🎨 Day 28
I followed up the last installation by making a set of extra-fancy building blocks … but I wanted to leave the funnest part—putting them together—entirely up to viewers and not to me. Here are some of the setups my classmates made:
-
🎨 Day 27
Pipe Game. An installation for one of my first grad classes in 2019.
-
🎨 Day 26
Another break from books. Here’s Refraction, 2020. Acrylic and mixed media on panel. Done for a local 24-hr art contest.
-
🎨 Day 25
I posted these here a while ago, but I’ll include them again in this context!
Journals made from the scrap papers, prints, and project remains I’ve accumulated over the years—though, as usually happens, most of them also needed some brand-new stuff to conplete them.
-
🎨 Day 24–a quick break from books, since the last couple are more complicated to post.
Paper Space IV, 2021 Mixed media
-
🎨 Day 23
Electronic puzzle book project, which … was too overwhelming to finish 🙃
Sensors & lights are hidden in the pages, so the book develops as you solve puzzles—hopefully kind of like magic!
Here’s the back 😬 but pretty sure I’ll return to the idea sometime!
-
🎨 Day 22
Project for a “star book” format class assignment. This one’s a personal favorite—and also cool to see how, though the playground theme seemed more isolated at the time, it’s coming back in more of my work now.
-
🎨 Day 21
S’more, an oldie but goodie
-
🎨 Day 20
Light Book, 2019
Plastic and … a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff
-
🎨 Day 19 —now onto books! One of my favorite mediums that I keep returning to every now and then, bringing new materials, knowledge or ideas I’ve absorbed in the meantime. Here’s something less formal—a journal I made for a friend with a pop-up sewn into it:
-
🎨 Day 18
Shaft, 2019 Acrylic and colored pencil on canvas
As I was making the Hope Series paintings, people kept telling me they’d love to see a bigger one. So finally I did! (this is 60.5” x 60.5”)
-
🎨 Day 17
Edge, Center, Cornerstone, 2019
Acrylic on panel
Another commission—from the brother of the person who commissioned the previous piece. They happened the same summer too, so I decided to use a (very abstracted) Chi shape in this one also so they’d echo each other.
-
🎨 Day 16 (a little late)
Chi Rho, 2019
Acrylic on canvas
While I’m on commissioned pieces, here’s one I did for a design mentor and friend, for whom the Chi Rho page from the Book of Kells is a touchstone. It’s also much bigger than many of my pieces—somewhere around 6’ x 3’

🎨 Day 15 ctd
Closeups of “Variations”
-
🎨 Day 15
Pretty much had to follow @gregmoore’s comment yesterday with this one … a commission for two musicians, based on the idea of a theme and variations, where the pieces are meant to be rearranged at will by the owners (and they do this, actually, periodically!)
-
🎨 Day 14
Grouping of the Hope Series paintings—I think they work really well installed together!
(again, photos by Eli Warren here)

🎨 Day 13
Rip, 2019 | Hope Series
Acrylic, canvas, and burlap on panel
-
🎨 Day 12
Cover, 2018 | Hope Series Mixed media on panel
This one was fun—a canvas shape laid on top of the stenciled-out area underneath. I was thinking about how it’s hard to keep some truth from leaking out in even the most elaborate coverups …
-
🎨 Day 11
Resist, 2018 | Hope Series
Acrylic media on panel
The driving challenge for these was how many different ways I could use the properties of materials to make different kinds of reveals—and what those different properties would suggest.
