Elise and I have started a long distance snail mail flux collaboration. We are sending each other art prompts. Hers to Texas and mine to California. I’ll update this post as we go. Or follow us on Instagram to see it happen in real time!

Here are process photos from beginning to end of making the Tooth shaped box. My friend Dani gave me the tooth keeper boxes a couple years ago. Took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with them.
Teeth and Wishbones are both strange keepsakes to me. Both are former bits of a living creature. Both have strange rituals behind them. Combining these symbols seemed natural to me. After sending out a request for wishbones my friend John sent me 23 of them! Next was asking my friend Robot of Robotwoodwerx for help with the final product (since graduation from UH I no longer have access to a wood-shop). This was my first experience out sourcing work on a project. I'm so glad I did because it came out AMAZING! Progress Photo of the shadow landscape mural I’m working on at The Center for the Beyond Form Exhibition. I started by picking up what I found on the side of the road. Then by using colored lights and a pen light throw a shadow of the objects on to the wall and then using paint or chalk or markers to draw the shadow on to the wall. I do this is short bursts and move the light so the images pile up like a landscape.
