End of semester update: December 2009
The semester ended well and was productive! Thesis is going well and next semester will be my last. I got a lot of work done that I was happy with and won 1st place for Sculpture in the "Rebel" exhibit and publication.
I just finished my park bench this week and the install of the trash cans and park bench I fabricated will be in the second week of July. More pics to come in the public work page and I will photograph one new piece for the "Man-Made" stones section.
Hope all is well.
