4th Annual Pinheads Show!

The 4th Annual Pinheads Exhibition at Recycled Propaganda embraces playful experimentation and reinvention, inviting artists to transform the familiar bowling pin form into sculptural, surreal, or narrative-driven works.

The show reflects the gallery’s ethos of “question everything,” encouraging viewers to engage with art that is both accessible and thought-provoking, often blurring the line between humor, critique, political and cultural commentary. 

I transformed my pinhead into the Verdant Anomaly—a glitter-slick, baby-faced entity that feels engineered yet abandoned...

The 4th Annual Pinheads Show is on display through the month of May. Head over to Recycled Propaganda to see what strikes you!

Art 3-D Summer Camp!

 This past week I had the pleasure of teaching a 3-D summer camp! It was a one week, all day camp focused on sculpture. There were 13 students, ranging in age from 13 to 16, and man were they amazing. 

Every morning the students would arrive and immediately get to work on their pieces. They created imaginary/fantastical creatures out of cardboard, explored different possibilities with fierce game of exquisite corpse. 


As the week moved along, they created tunnel books as an ode to their creatures. Each one distinctly the voice of the artist.







The campers also used sculpey clay and found objects to create an assemblage narrative. These were created inside cigar boxes. The students could ebb and flow between the projects as the week progressed. 


These young artists were a joy to spend time with, there was never a dull moment and there was always something new to  discover, either in their ideas or exploring the media.
