Masking Tap @ Staples, 2014 

As part of the project I was, like everyone else working to understand the process Tuttle uses to make his sculptural works. The tool I gained most form this was understanding how flat wall paintings can begin to activate their environment in very subtle ways and not just contain a passive existence on the wall. 

Plater Mold 

Eh, I Owe You and E 
Plater and Oil And Gesso,  2014 

This was way a series of paintings addressing my own interest of the simplicity of language structure and how it works together to create one of the most complex systems of communication. 

Pedestal One

Wood and Nails and Foam and Acrylic and Paint Objects, 2014 

This was a way of making a sculptural project that both explicitly in the way it was made and by what it was made created a painting. throughout the process I sought to make a sculptor that reflected my paintings and the materials I use to make them while still being a totally formal freestanding sculptor. 

Pedestal Two 

Unmonumental Painting  

Wood and Nails, 2014 

Throughout this project I examined the process of three dimensional viewing of painting, hoping to create a new context for understand painting through the way we view sculptor.
