Something I’ve been working on for weeks. I guess it could be done. It measures 28 x 24 x 9 inches, silk and Plexiglas rings I cut on the Universal Laser at NextFab in Wilmington. #nextfabmade @nextfab_de #creativedistrictwilm #creativewilmington #silksculpture #fibersculpture #fiberartist #contemporaryfiberart #fiberart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #fineart #fiberart #fiberarts (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-XewflJdR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j6ffnyon6x1i

Today it was too cold to spray paint and open the windows to work with my dyes so I worked a this new silk sculpture. Call it a mobile if you must, I call it sculpture in motion. I always get a surprised look from people when I say I make silk sculpture. The silk is sewn around rings I cut from a 1/4 inch acrylic on the Universal Laser at NextFab in Wilmington. #nextfabmade #nextfabmadede #nextfab #workinprogress #creativedistrictwilm #fineartistsofinstagram #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #fineartist #silksculpture #fiberartist #contemporaryfiberart #contemporaryfiberartist #artistinspiredbynature #inspiredbynature (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUGnYyFwrv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14mlzlc54zopi

Making it happen at NextFab. It’s so exciting when something finally works out. These are little tests I’m working on for some larger pieces. The green is painters tape. I’m going to hit them with some spray paint to add color before I remove the tape. I’ll share more as they develop. #nextfabmade #creativedistrict #creativedistrictwilm #troteclaser #engraver #acrylic https://www.instagram.com/p/BoNl6TAgzLz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=og99zp8n2fo

Had fun today helping out on a community public art project with fellow artist Susan Benarcik @susanbenarcik. We worked together to build this really cool human size nest at the Rock Lot in the Creative District of Wilmington. #creativedistrict #creativedistrictwilm #wilmingtonde #publicart #nestbuilding #susanbenarcik #communityart (at Wilmington, Delaware)

I was at NextFab last night cutting out stencils on the Universal Laser. I start with a drawing in Adobe Illustrator and convert it to a cut file. I’ll be using the stencils in my works on Dura-lar. #nextfabmade #nextfab #wilmingtondelaware #creativedistrict #creativedistrictwilm #stencil #stencilart #universallaser (at NextFab)
