Some pieces in a small exhibition.
Shorty's Goldmine. Shorty always had a dream-or rather, many. After what seemed likean eternal struggle, his efforts were rewarded.
The Eternal Dialogue. The tension between objects is the same as the tension in the actions and meaning (or value) of the objects.
Shorty enjoyed many things-He worked hard but still found his Pleasures.
The Smiling Shines Dream. His work was his life and he enjoyed being good at it. It became his temple and allowed him to have some treasures.

Most of my work is about some form of interaction.This would be about objects and nature,change, humor, objects and their totemic value, relationships,work and emotions.Almost none of these objects "work" if the viewer does not get involved on levels beyond the "scenic". The viewer brings his or her own curiosity, life experiences and intellect.
