Red Lodge Clay Center

This is a collection of images of work created during my Short Term Residency at Red Lodge Clay Center in Montana.  My residency lasted through March and April of 2016.  Red Lodge served as  a wonderful and liberating environment that allowed me to focus on efficiency in my work and experiment with new forms.

Solo Show: Continuum

These photos document a solo show that I was fortunatly asked to install at Wichita State University's Project Space gallery.  It allowed me to focus on a single form and explore it in every direction.  The title of the show was Continuum.
