This is me assembling the sculpture inside JCPenny's Outlet store. No one said a word to us while we spent over 2 hours gathering materials and constructing. We left the sculptures there to be appreciated by the shoppers and the retail staff.

The amazing Kansas City gallery Cara and Cabezas has a great new blog.  The month of August featured an essay on my painting Within Reach, 2010 by Halcombe Miller.  I’m a big fan of her writing and really enjoyed  the way she approaches this painting and the thoughts that it generates.
