I blasted this piece apart with a plasma cutter the other night — Practicing non-attachment I guess. The working title for this beauty was “flight wave”. Steel, 24x18x14 inches.

What’s this?! A blue dot?? Super excited that this little piece received an honorable mention in our welding class show! Our welding and fabrication class always puts on such a crazy show of creative, thoughtful work. Shout out to all the LADIES who absolutely stole the show this year!! @accidentaleffort @sharosullart @marsha1050 💃💃 Show is up until Saturday at @aslnyc ! #steelsculpture

This is The Cup ✨ Someone asked me what it’s full of, and I said “my emotions”. If you get it, you get it. And if you don’t, I hand-filed those edges so there’s really nothing else I can do 🤣 The Cup will be on view from May 4 - May 9 at @aslnyc . Come see some cool creative steel work! Opening on Monday, May 4 from 6-8 pm #steelsculpture

Had a blast working on this piece. Somewhere between two-thirds and three-fourths life size, this was a quick study of our model, Alyssa. I was hustling and got a good 20-25 hours in. Also tried to sprinkle a little Botero in there. Anyways, plenty more to do, but I’m not sure who’s gonna do it 😅 #sculpture #figuresculpture

Started from the model, everyone’s favorite baby girl @anonwritergirl , and then had a little fun with the piece. This one still needs to be hallowed and fired, so the work continues. Excited for more projects with Rahil in the near future ♥️♥️ Life size, red earthenware. #portrait #sculpture #microbangs

Practicing some non-attachment. Lots of new work I’m excited about, lots of old work I’m almost finished with. Lots of weeks working 7 days a week, late nights, early mornings. Tendonitis flares. I had to do something about the workload 🤪 #sculpture
