The Recent Past

The Black Hills, SD | 2014-2021

I realize 2014 isn’t exactly “recent”. but the alternatives are “The South Dakota Years”, or “Early Fatherhood Period”. lame-o. but for clarity, the ‘2014-’18 years of art-making were defined by tiredness. when i look at “Strut”, “Picasso”, “Paris”….I can feel the exhaustion as I picked away at leatherhard clay. pausing to close my eyes, then awaken to poke a few more holes. 2015 began The School Years, and eventually I was awake enough to help build the new studio, completed in 2018.
