Dancing With Autechre!

I'll admit it, I am a chin-scratching, techno-dance hating music snob. If the music is strange and impossible to dance to, then I will probably like it.
I love Autechre... Actually, what I love about this video is that it is unclear whether the author's intent is to celebrate or to ridicule the complete undanceability of Autechre's music...

Red Arrows: Three Clusters- Side View
I installed this at my gallery last weekend. For these pieces that spread across the wall, I have a general idea for the location of the clusters in relation to one another, but the layout of the piece depends mostly upon the architectural space in which the piece is going to be installed. For example, when I created this piece in my studio it was largely horizontal, but here it was adapted for a space that is largely vertical.

Changing Education Paradigms

This video explains much of what I think is wrong with the American educational system today. It has been structured around a nineteenth century Industrial Revolution concept of standardization and memorization. That concept worked in a time when we needed humans to do the work that is now done by machines, but now we need humans to do the work that cannot be done by machines... And that is where creativity and collaboration come into play.

Instabilities in a Heated Layer

This painting got its name and began from an image in the book, "An Album of Fluid Motion". But the image slightly changed with each new layer of oil enamel and is now mostly unrecognizable from the original photo. The image here is tiny, I would suggest clicking on it to enlarge it.
