tangible influences





postmodern?

Bricolage (pronounced /ˌbriːkɵˈlɑːʒ/ or /ˌbrɪkɵˈlɑːʒ/) is a term used in several disciplines, among them the visual arts and literature, to refer to the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work created by such a process. The term is borrowed from the French word bricolage, from the verb bricoler, the core meaning in French being, "fiddle, tinker" and, by extension, "to make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are at hand (regardless of their original purpose)". In contemporary French the word is the equivalent of the English do it yourself, and is seen on large shed retail outlets throughout France. A person who engages in bricolage is a bricoleur.

June Show At Gallery 788



Good news I have more new work up at Gallery 788 in Pigtown. The show last month went well, and I've been invited back and given a larger wall space which is awesome. So if you'd like to see some of my newly completed smaller work along side some of my larger pieces I'd suggest stopping by 788 Washington Boulevard during the month of June. Or you can scroll down and see a few close ups from the show.
