Yesterday, I officially enrolled into the Australian National University to pursue a PhD in Sculpture (http://www.creativearts.anu.edu.au/). This will be a three year adventure to develop my current focus. I am excited about this opportunity, but also hesitant since it has been several years since I have been to school.
On another life changing note, Mel (my wife) has been awarded the 2011 Stephen Proctor Fellowship (http://www.glassaustralia.anu.edu.au/SPFAbout.html). This is a huge honor for her and she is as excited as she is deserving.
I have just returned from a fun weekend in Seattle where I had an opening at the Traver Gallery with Mel George and Deborah Horrell for a show we called "Portland Presence". We all reflected on our current connection with this great little city and our personal lives. I would like to thank all the individuals who helped us get the show together and the gallery for letting us put it on. Thank you.
I hope for my next post to scan some images from my sketch book and look back on how the Bridge Series came about....
