Sticks and Stones and Bones ( the captive series )

Sticks and Stones and Bones is a series of artworks that incorporate: Paintings, Drawings, Digital Prints, Sculpture and Conceptual works.

A one man show was exhibited at Bokeh Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona and The Pike Gallery in Flagstaff, Arizona. During a month long residency the Stickman sculpture ( Self portrait ) was created inside the Pike Gallery. The sculpture was built in two halves: upper and lower because the total height of the piece is 16′ tall. The main material is johnson reed that was harvested from the artist’s studio in Scottsdale. They are attached to a minimal painted steel framework. The bulk of the pieces are 2 dimensional works that incorporate images of animals , rocks and mountains. The pieces combine : acrylic painting with drawings on archival paper.
