Finally! My show at Firecat Projects is just around the corner and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
Friends, please join me for the opening of my solo show, “They Came Between Dreams” at Firecat Projects. I’m excited to share the artwork I’ve been creating over the past year with you!
“They Came Between Dreams” is a collection of burned wood engravings that chronicles the state of hypnagogia: that mysterious period of semi-consciousness between wakefulness and sleep when the mind’s eye conjures strange images, textures and hallucinations.
Stop by for a glass of wine or Three Floyds beer and I’ll chat with you about the process behind the work: the 1,000 degrees of heat I used to burn the images, the milk-paint pigments that color the work, and the power tool scroll saw I wielded to cut intricate patterns and designs.

Would you like one of my show postcards (shown below) for your fridge? Send me your mailing address through my contact page and I’ll get one out to you via snail mail.
I create burned wood engravings that combine my love of the textures and patterns found in nature with a deep interest in the unconscious world of dreams, symbols and mythic folklore.
