He Worried His Friends Only Liked Him for His Golden Scales, 2011Mixed Media with Gold Leaf on Board, 6"x10"
Here's my latest piece, for a show at the Piranha Shop Parlor running from Friday Sept. 23 through Saturday October 8 (1022 S. 1st Ave, in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood).
The curators asked artists to include at least one work featuring a piranha. Most people see a fearsome fish; I see a misunderstood, bejeweled creature. Piranhas appear to have gold glitter integrated among their scales, finally giving me a chance to play with gold leaf.
The floor of my studio is a lot shinier now.
