I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Southern Illinois Metalsmiths Society for the recent inclusion of my piece Strain (along with pieces by my UW peers and friends Chloe Darke and Luc Pointon), in their 2018 Forge, Form, Fabricate exhibition. In addition to this, I was recognized with an award for third place in the juried portion. I wish I could make it down to Carbondale to see the exhibit, however for those of you who can it will be up in the University Museum through October 31st.
