Studio nonsense
Since Jan 2025 I’ve become increasingly alarmed by the US Republican regimes manipulations of words and their meanings. Specifically their tactics of outright lies, lies by ommission, goal-post moving, gaslighting, DARVO, hypocrisy, book bans, censorship, the firing of people, random closures of government departments, the cessation of record keeping, the removal of photos/documents from historical…

I got curious when people used cliches and other slogans or phrases while seemingly unaware of what they meant. Hearing and using language were things…

Outside of the box 2nd edition
More progress this on my new 3d sculpture project I started in this post. It’s for an upcoming exhibit via Caplan Art Designs. This week I’ve worked to make my wooden cube look even more like an empty cardboard box especially around the flaps and edges. Now I’m blocking in some colors within the commercial-box…
