Inlay, carving, painting, sculpting.

THe last critique was very helpful and inspiring! I have been working on carving even deeper into the surface of my pieces, so I am able to let the glass pieces sit below and into the wood. I also aquired  an entire bucket of copper and brass pieces, which have some beautiful wear and tear in them! 

I am working on enabling my painting Andy pieces to become evenpre ambiguous. The painting course I am helping to TA has been particularly inspiring this week, as we are exploring concrete painting. I have found that my own painting style twists a line somewhere and nowhere between the concrete and the expressive... 

Here is the bare beginning of the current piece I am working on.
