Farewell Breckenridge
I’ve had an amazing time here in Breckenridge, Co. Jenn & Kate of Breckenridge Creative Arts have done a fantastic job of putting together this first annual Fire Arts Festival, and I look forward to the possibility of coming back here next year with my own art installation, or having a residency here.

Gilly & Fire in the Snow
This week I’m in Breckenridge, CO for the International Snow Sculpure Championships and Fire Arts Festival, assisting my good friend and collaborator Orion Fredericks with his latest creation Gillaptourous Corvus, aka “Gilly,” a 14ft tall fire breathing sculpture made from cold-forged and tig-welded stainless steel. This is Gilly’s first public appearance and the location is unlike any […]
Despair Vs Dream
I’m having one of those mornings where Despair and Doubt ate their oatmeal and did their yoga before I could kiss Dream farewell. They are doing pushups on my Heart and running circles around my breathless Hope. A million dead seabirds paint the beaches with their starving bodies. A handful of pseudo kings pull the […]

anti-gravity
ya know I’m thankful for the dark moments… for when it all turns to shit and I feel like a totally short-sighted, desire-based, pleasure seeking nincompoop. I face my shortcomings… I see what I don’t want to. I am reminded of beauty. little shiny things catch my eye… I don’t really know what to do […]
