New HD Photographs of "Morpheus"

Hello! Cat here... Ralph and I spent last weekend playing with new photo equipment, and I'm so excited to share these new HD photographs of "Morpheus" with you all!! Sculpture is difficult to photograph because you can never really capture the real life 3 dimensionality of the piece. However, I genuinely feel these picture bring new life to Ralph's "Morpheus", and will allow the online viewer to get a better feel for what the piece looks like in person... (It's still more i

Sculptures in Progress

Just a quick update before we head out to deliver "The Remainder of Unusable Equations" to the Biennial Exhibition at the Wiregrass Museum of Art next week... Ralph has been working hard this summer on 3 large scale "organomorphic" sculptures. They are now all ready to be finished! I'm not exactly certain what he has in mind, but I'll be sure to keep you all updated on his progress, but I'm so excited to watch this particular sculpture's evolution! Cheers! - Cat Don't miss a

Breaking Molds: New Sculptures

Hey Everyone, Just thought I'd keep ya in the loop! While I've been working on how I want to finished 2 more "Knots" and "The Promise", I've begun casting 2 more large-scale sculptures. One is a 2-piece mold and the other is a 3-piece mold. I'm excited about all the different possibilities I have on finishing these sculptures. I want these sculptures to be unlike any shape you've ever seen. These organomorphic shapes may be simplistic in form, but they will evoke ethereal

Featured Work on Paper: "Love in a New World"

For this #TBT I'd like to feature a drawing from my "A Busy Mind" Series entitled, "Love in a New World". Our lives have both subtlety and drastically changed over the years through mirroring the continual evolution of personal technology. Love, or at least the way in which we show each other love, has changed in ways unimaginable to our even just our grandparents. We are indeed living and loving in a new world. Be kind. Be happy. Make the most of every day. - RP "Love in

Sculpture Debut: "Duchamp's Gene"

I'd like to introduce my newest sculpture to my "Genes & Chromosomes" Series, "Duchamp's Gene". It's easy enough to see the infuence behind this sculpture. Sometimes simplicity is just superficial. I'll let you all form your own opinions. Enjoy. - RP "Duchamp's Gene", mixed media, 48"h x 18"w x 18"d, 2016. "Duchamp's Gene", mixed media, 48"h x 18"w x 18"d, 2016.

"The Promise", Sculpture in Progress

Here's a quick update on one of Ralph's newest in-progress large-scale sculptures, currently entitled, "The Promise". He has been spending hours upon hours painstakingly sanding this piece in order to create the highest quality finish possible. He and I have been talking about ideas about colors/patterns. He's got some pretty rad ideas!! It won't change his mind, but I'm curious, how would you all finish it? Feel free to comment below! Cheers! - Cat As always click the lin

Featured Sculpture: Techno-Primitive II

This week I would like to feature a public/outdoor sculpture entitled, "Techno-Primitive II". It is the second of a series of two. They are both large-scale sculptures featuring giant ceramic "heads" in the middle of steel sprues. The ceramic heads feature many layers of different glazes, including a "top secret" glaze that I invented in order for the head to have a very textured surface. This particular piece was on display in downtown Charlotte, NC for over a year as pub

Studio Update!

Today is Tuesday, it is has been raining since last Wednesday and it is supposed to continue raining into the weekend! I wasn't aware the Southeast had been transported to the Pacific Northwest. This has put a damper on our ability to continue reonvations to the new studio. However, it can't completely stop us! I have cut all of the wood and basically made a kit that I will put together for the storage loft areas, the bathroom, and 2 dividing walls. Cat and I began puttin
