ALR on Tour: Skulls at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

I was recently asked to present a talk and workshop as part of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts' annual Teen Symposium. The program features several guest artists who present to 100+ students and art teachers from across Virginia. I talked about my Skull-A-Day project and then led the participants in a mini-project in which they picked an image and then made as many versions of it they could in a short period of time using a variety of materials. The results were really terrific, especially when people realized they could move beyond fixed, traditional forms. More images can be seen on my Flickr stream HERE.

Plant The Piece: In Sweden

I was delighted to see this image of the Seed Guns created by Christopher Humes and myself as part of our Plant The Piece project on exhibition in Sweden. They are on display through the summer of 2009 as part of the juried show Take Action! at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg.

More pictures of the exhibition are on the Plant The Piece site HERE.
