2012 Awesomeness

So, let’s get it out of the way that a year-end review of my art life strikes me as pompous, which is kinda why I am doing it. It reminds me of the Christmas card from an aunt with a page long letter spewing tidings of glee centered around the success of her family as they take over the universe for Christ. Ahhhh, the holidays.
Anyhow, here is a primarily visual refresher on my art and events over the past year.

The Art Foundation‘s exhibit ‘twain‘ was smart and well executed, if I do say so myself.

I really enjoyed my installation “Fulfilling the Void“. It is one of my best solo exhibits.

Breech” in Nashville was also pretty darn nifty and lead to a great experiment in “Breech: OMFG Remix.

And not least in coolness was my collaborative inclusion in the NCECA Invitational 2012 in Seattle (with Ian F Thomas.) The trip also lead to one of my more entertaining blog posts.
