the trouble with trouble

my dislocated and broken shoulder
...a reminder from the ego-police that maybe I'm not as tough as I think, and perhaps not every bike ride is a good idea. I am having surgery today, and I'll be slowed down for a few months of recovery. Thanks to all for your ongoing support.

ABQ Now preview

The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History is hosting a large survey of selected local artists titled ABQ Now. A piece from my new body of work, RECESS, will be on display during the second half of the exhibition from Jan. 24th - April 18th.

Automated sentry with improvised shotgun; wood, household implements, webcam, pipe, custom electronics; 2010
This piece is presently untitled. It's an automated sentry with an improvised 12 Gauge shotgun. The sculpture tracks the largest moving target in the gallery and fires at will.

Albuquerque Now: Winter will host a public reception from 7-9pm on Sat. Jan 23rd.

Contact the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History at 505-243-7255 with questions.


When you're ready to lose

explorerFear is not the enemy. The sharpest moments of clarity I have experienced, continuously follow situations threatening incredible loss. Hardwired, savage "wake the fuck up" moments chase fear for the loss of my life, mobility, status, comfort, personal health, and the health of my loved ones. Today I am moved.

Is each year another precarious layer on the house of cards? Can I continue to afford to play to win? Wisdom does come with age...but at the price of quiet terror. Perhaps this unsettling thirty-sense is something I can choose to ignore? Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new chapter, and the first line reeks of optimism.
