A nationwide reaction to authoritarianism. Calling all artists. www.falloffreedom.com #falloffreedom #resistanceart

"Horsemen" imagines a monument for some of the figures Americans idolize in this era. Porcelain, wire & vintage wood cigar press. If you're in Seattle Nov 21 or 22, come see the Fall of Freedom exhibition in the Tashiro Kaplan Bldg, 306 S Washington in Pioneer Square from noon to 5pm.

Depths Unknown is getting close to completion - just needs a touch of gloss on its liquidy bits. I'm happy with how this is coming out!

Beware of the Dog is an allegory of societal collapse. A wolf in sheep's clothing + Ruben's "Fall of the Damned". #porcelain #sculpture #surrealism

"The Vanishing, Part Two" is still in the works. Porcelain wall piece started at an Oregon artist residency and transported the 8 hrs home, pre-fired. #porcelain #sculpture

I love that the nation's most paranoid conspiracy theorists were instantly at ease with a dude who owns a company that installs chips in human brains and has the planet surrounded with nearly 7,000 surveillance satellites.

In addition to calling Congress, start contacting military brass.

Tempest Nocturne was one of my first serious attempts at sculpture in 2021. I took a great portrait sculpting class from phenom Tip Toland, my best decision ever. After her class I turned the bust into this surrealist 'landscape'. #ceramicart #sculpture #surrealism #beautifulbizarre

Cantherellus chanterelk (2023) from the Fungidermy series has nothing whatsoever to do with current events. You're welcome. One of three hunting trophies for the mycophiles among us. #ceramic #sculpture #chanterelle #mushroomhunting

I miss this guy. In retrospect, I shouldn't be so quick to sell a work. That's a lesson I learned with him. Going forward, I'll wait until I'm able to finish out a body of work so they can all be shown together, at least once. Regrets... I've had a few. You? #porcelain #art #sculpture #ceramic

"The Price of Eggs" A porcelain & found object piece made in 2021 as "Row, Wade, Sink" but retitled once I realized how we could be thrown under a bus for just the price of eggs. And what a heavy price that is. #art #politicalart #sculpture #donotobey

"Devil's in the Details" is a Trojan Warthog story of empires past & present, figureheads, hidden surprises, influences, corruption, those pulling the reins, & those who are beholden to them. Follow the trail of breadcrumbs strewn throughout the piece. #sculpture #ceramic #art #resist #politicalart

Birthright citizenship: like Usha Vance, Marco Rubio (parents were undocumented until he was about 4 yrs old), and Vivek Ramaswamy (parents were undocumented, father is still not a citizen, living in US) 1/4

Finishing up the other side of this guy, one month and two days after I started. I'm trying to be satisfied but there's always 'one more thing' to fix. I see several just in this photo... *sigh* "Beware of the Dog" (wolf, sheep, and the 'Fall of the Damned') #porcelain #sculpture #art

So when is the appropriate time to assemble our trojan warthogs and wheel them about town? January or before? #sculpture #politicalart #inauguralhog

"Beware of the Dog" is a wolf in sheep's clothing, with Ruben's 1620 "Fall of the Damned" playing out in the tufts of his wool. #porcelain #sculpture #art

Why is rusty old metal so aesthetically pleasing? #photography #washington

"The Circus Arrives Without Warning" (2022). Porcelain & found object sculpture. #sculpture #politicalart #art

"Horsemen" was four years in the making. An apocalyptic imagining of the sort of US national monuments we may have to suffer in our future. I tried composing it in a form evocative of the Iwo Jima memorial, whose subjects are planting a US flag of conquest. #porcelain #sculpture #art #politicalart

Sculpting porcelain fables, very slowly. "Let Us Prey" (2024). Most have a political/allegorical/social mores theme. #sculptor #art
