A great midnight haul of Styrofoam for the City Lost project. Styrofoam is one of those substances that once you know how to work with it, the possibilities become endless for how to use it. I've always been proud of the fact that most of my sculpture work involves upcycling. There are so many remarkable things out there in the world that can be gotten for free if we as artists just have the ingenuity to turn them into something. When you consider that the Styrofoam found above will become something similar to the sculptures seen below, then you know the true value of what others perceive as junk.

NEW ORLEANS STUDIO LIVE UPDATE 02/09/23
STATUS: We are closed through Friday due to rain. Next open shoot is Saturday night, but due to Mardi Gras parades in the area, you may find it difficult to get to the studio over the weekend.
MODELS: We are still doing "open studio" for male models interested in volunteering to become art. This means no interview is necessary. Text or message to confirm a slot. Tourists are especially encouraged to visit during the 2023 Mardi Gras season.
VISITORS: Tours of the studio are always available. Text or message if you'd like to see what was LITERALLY created from the ashes of Hurricane Ida.
