More fun from The New Music Sketch

These are some sculptures from last week's New Music Sketch. I took a couple days to go through all the stuff that everyone brought for the event and continued with the madness.

Jim O'Neill and I started doing Music Sketch about five years ago to experiment with musical and visual art collaboration. It's all improvised, totally spontaneous, and a little bit crazy. Our last performance lasted two hours and was created entirely out of things that participants brought to the event. Thank you to all of you. The musicians working with me are Jim O'Neill, Aaron McCabe, Michael McGarthwaite, Mark O'Day, and Justin Hartke. They made music out of all the objects too. Everything was fair game.

A Dress out of Canvas



Stephanie Weber of Artful Decor asked me to design a dress with her for the fund-raising event Fashion + Fusion this year. This is the dress worn by Alison Holmes that won "Most Wearable". One of the judges was a contestant from Project Runway named Chritopher Straub. I made the dress out of old canvases torn into strips and fastened together.
