#stone marble

Glass used as a metaphorical statement:

A CHIP IN GIBSON’S GARDEN - Virginia slate, hot and cold worked glass, black stoneware, brass, copper - 15″x 7½”x 2″ - cyberpunk revisited

YO HO HO (MY LIFE AS A PIRATE) - Alabama white marble, Spanish black marble, Turkish red marble, black granite, black slumped glass, fossil shark's teeth, paint - 12"x 19" x 7½" - an artist’s life

YEAH MAM (SHE PULLED MY TOOTH) THORNE SMITH’S GARDEN DETAILS - Irish slate, red & blue glass, Italian yellow marble, Spanish black marble, tooth - 12½"x 12¾"x 3" - madcap comedy

FROM THE WAVES TO THE MOON - Virginia slate, fused glass, stoneware - 17"x 6"x 3" - pondering our collective journey

C’mell (a work-in-progress)

Italian calacatta grigio marble, Tennessee pink marble, cast bronze, found cast iron, found vintage wooden wedge and wood & brass folding rule, taxidermy nose, found cat whiskers, unglazed stoneware, hardware cloth, gesso and paint on wood panel

18¾"x 20½"x 3½"

This state is about 23 hours of work since mid-February.  The three to four coats of white gesso which completely cover the surface of the panel have yet to be toned by rubbing of dry pigments or washing with thinned acrylics. The rubs/washes will be in both warmer and cooler tones, as well as some lettering in crayon or charcoal and probably some sgraffito as well.
