I’m exploring metal and have a more abstracted idea.  I created this ray @ an amazing workshop.

Here are some photos of the mine.  These beauties are mined from the surface, you can just walk over to them and pick up pieces.  The vibrancy of the honeycomb onyx is like slicing into an orange…and wait until you light them up from inside…living art.

I am rethinking my artist statement.  I reworked an older piece (Agni), and was awestruck by how it looks now.  My work is non-objective, my influences are everything.  I want everyone who comes into contact with my art form to understand what goes into it.  The process is difficult, yet so beautiful, especially when I’m not so ugly about it.  I’m a human being, I feel I should share that the process of art is gut wrenching sometimes.  I do it because I have to (Lionel Dobie).

Emerge 1 & 2 were exhibited, and very well received and discussed by some very well respected collectors and designers. A very nice high.

Why dasart.com It is my initials. Also dasart can be translated into ‘the art’. I want my art to speak for itself. All art of the high caliber needs to for a number of reasons. So even a Henry Moore bronze needs to stand on it’s own when it’s just you, the dawn and the art. The major patrons of the National Gallery collected what moved them more so then what was expected of them. Collecting is an art form, because relating to high art is such an intimate and deep dynamic. Being an emerging artist this knowledge makes me even more encouraged to blaze my trail, in an aesthetically pleasing way, of course.

Well the twins came up on holiday with me @ my cousin’s estate in Healdsburg. The works really go well with both Arts and Craft period (how the house is decorated), as well as the minimalist setting. Art Nouveau is still nouveau. Being an artist that is both about the subtext and the decorative, it is very pleasing to know that my work is translates so well. Click to enlarge.

What amazing exposure my new work illuminated.  It was a full house of who’s who in the SF scene.  A great party.  My work was well received.
