"The People's Gallery" was a group show at Austin City Hall in Austin, TX which was on display for all of 2006.

"The City of Austin Economic Growth and Redevelopment Services Office's Cultural Arts Division presents an annual exhibit to encourage public dialogue, understanding and enjoyment of visual art. The gallery showcases visual art that reflects the artistic excellence and cultural diversity of Austin and promotes the City’s cultural and economic initiatives."

"Casual Day: Fashionista Monolith" is a monument to the ridiculous articles of clothing we wear to work in the name of conservative fashion. It's an ever present form that casts it's shadow on our everyday.

I'm proud to have had this piece prominently displayed in the News Conference Room in Austin City Hall, where they broadcast meetings and news conferences in their suits and ties.

"Size Matter" was originally created for an Austin Independent School District Art Teacher Show at the Hideout in downtown Austin. The title references the exact size specifications that were given to us for creating our pieces. Once again, I used the corporate metaphor interchangeably with references to masculinity and overcompensation.
