MegaPentimento, 2012, vinyl, twill tape, aluminum, wood, 96 x 72 x 10 inches / 2.4 m x 1.8 m x 25 cm. On view in Happiness Is... through May 31 at the Montalvo Arts Center Project Space Gallery.
I make installations, sculptures, works on paper and multiples that elicit viewers’ optimistic or pessimistic attitudes, perceptions, and emotions.
Happiness Is... is currently on view at Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, CA. I developed several new works and public projects for this show while I was in residence there. I couldn't be more excited about this exhibition with whip-smart colleagues Susan O’Malley and Leah Rosenberg.
This summer, I'm looking forward to a printmaking-focused residency at the Tides Institute and Museum of Art.
