New marble finally, COMPLETELY finished.

Well, it's finally done. I've got all the little details that were bothering me ironed out and I've oiled the surface. I was given a piece of marble by my friend Ralph to use as a base. It had been outside for a long time, judging by the weathered surface, but that surface was perfectly porous for darkening it to contrast with the white marble. Now, on to aluminum projects!

Exhibition update . . .

Breaking news – my piece, "Metopia #2", an all aluminum piece shown here, as well as the stone that has been the focus of this blog since last October, have both been accepted into the national juried exhibition, GALEX 44. In addition, my piece, "Solid Geometry #2: Watch for Falling Rock" will be be shown in this year's national juried "Rock Island Fine Arts Exhibition". Interestingly, my alabaster sculpture, "Sound of Ice", which won the grand prize in last year's GALEX - was rejected from the Rock Island exhibition. HA!
