Closed Circuit

Here I am considering the all too human tendency to seek out others with similar opinions, and the attendant danger of ignoring or discounting a point of view which may run counter to one’s own notions. The two utility poles are carrying information back and forth, but remain disconnected from any outside source.

In Process...The Colossus

This is a detail of a casein work nearing completion. There is an alarming consolidation of media giants in this country, from Sinclair to Comcast. I have dressed my giant in attire appropriate to the 1970s...he'd fit right into the film "Network". The television is similar to the one I watched as a child, although I cannnot imagine my parents buying anything constructed with a blond wood finish... which I've always loved.
