Exhibitions update 2024–25

Currently, my work Leafescher is included in Portrayed: A Juried National Exhibition of Portraiture at d’Art Center in Norfolk, January 11–February 8, 2025.

I was part of Dollhaus: Reimagining the Domestic Space at the Barry Art Museum at Old Dominion University from August 27, 2024 – January 5, 2025. For the show, 17 members of the ODU Art Department received an empty room and created “an interior that reflects their artistic practice.” My room was a stairwell and designed in collaboration with my wife Ellen, who added the stepladder, scissors, and broom. An interview with me discussing the work and related topics was posted by the museum on SoundCloud.

A selection of 15 works from my “Trypophilia” series were featured through October – November 2024 at the Perry Glass Studio of the local Chrysler Museum of Art. My works were shown alongside pieces by glass artist Emily Bartelt Juel. As an adjunct to the show, I “assisted” Emily in a glass-blowing demo where she crafted a glass artwork inspired by mine. A video of Emily and I talking about our work was posted on the Chrysler’s Instagram account.

In 2024, works from appeared in the group exhibitions Works on Paper – Make your Mark at the Core Art Space in Denver Colorado, in March; and Materiality Matters at the Umpqua Valley Arts in Roseburg, Oregon in April.

My artwork Tape Z (top), sold in this year’s annual MassArt Art Auction, held in April. It was my third successive year of donations and sales, 30-year absence from the event when I wasn’t making art. My sales have raised over $1500 for student scholarship aid and academic program support at my twice-over alma mater. Works that have sold in previous years were Thrift Impression in 2022, and two works in 2021, Refractory and Liquid Color.
