JAM FINE ARTS

Submitted three pieces today for Side Street Studio Arts' "Off the Wall" exhibition for later this summer. I offered to do a site-specific Outgrowth installation. I'd love to show that. The fun part would be working with a random space they allot to me. If accepted, it would be Outgrowth 3.

"OFF THE WALL is for non-traditional and alternative 3D works that utilize conventional and non-conventional installation procedures. Architectural, 3D printed, textiles, kinetic works, clay, ironwork... ... any artwork in the Third Dimension may be submitted.
​This exhibit will be juried. 
​This exhibit is open to the public August 6 - 29, with an Opening Reception Friday, August 6 from 6-9pm.  Submissions must be received by Sunday, July 25th @ midnight. No late submissions will be accepted. 
Accepted artists will be notified via email by Wednesday the 28th of July.
​Please complete the submission form below. Submission images must be sent through this application.
Submissions will be limited to 3 works or less, including sets."

Goldilocks Panopticon 1, 2021, is a woven glass and reflective bead tile mosaic on a full dome security mirror with optional chain for suspending it from a ceiling or beam. It is part of the Panoption series. I am working on a 36" GP2.

Below are some WIP shots:

I applied to Harper College's Small Works show. I didn't get in the last time I tried 3 or 4 years ago. We'll see. Galleries only have so many pedestals to go around. Oh, I forgot. This is the place that notifies the artists by posting accepted works on a web page instead of  an email notification. Right.
