Pipe Dreams Closed Today

Pipes and Valves

Currently displayed at Kokomo Artist Alley

Pipe Dreams Closed Today is a maze of pipes leading to nothing. There are valves that give the hope of being opened but they end up being a false sense of accomplishment. The dreams aren’t meant to be achieved today.

Roses dipped in wax

This is an installation that is growing and not yet finished. I don’t know if it will ever be. Every rose represents a dream I have had of my mother since her passing.

Support System

Board, paint and wire

4’x4’

Currently displayed at Kokomo Artist Alley

The Support System is about two individual parts relaying on one another to be complete and existing as one. They could be separated and displayed but the wires help support them and bring a balance to the overall look. They work together and support one another. This concept comes from my support system in life. We could work independently but instead we lend each other the support to grow and move forward together.
