Gridlock

Here are some pictures of the creation process and finished pieces of the cars which will populate the freeway that runs through my installation. They are plaster, cast in a silicone RTV mold of the originals I carved out of wood. I'm not sure all the cars are going to get this degree of detail; the biggest of them is only three inches long.

The Buzz?

Here is the evite for "Ground Us" and a link to something.

"Ground Us" Progress

Here are some updated images of work on the "Ground Us" installation which is my current burden. I had thought I'd be updating this a bit more often to keep up to date with the progress on the piece, but all of my time is now dissolved into this piece. It's gotten big enough that I can't house the entire thing in the studio and buildings have spilled out into the house.

The top shot is of just a few finished buildings.

The second shot is of some freeway sections (yes, I'm building a freeway complete with cars which i will be casting in the coming week)

The last shot is of a "Jet" not finished, the first of several, and kind of a test.

The Billboard Hits The Road!

My billboard along with several others have made the journey north and are on display in various locations through out the Bay Area. Mine is some place in downtown Oakland. Here's a link to the San Francisco Chronicle article about the thing.
