I am pleased to announce that my latest body of work, "Pollination," will open on September 12 at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, 31 Mercer Street, NYC.  The show addresses many facets of pollination as a fertile exchange, including bees, commerce, human relationships, spirituality and technology.  Works include large-scale sculpture, kinetic sculpture, works on paper and perfume.  A public reception will be hosted at the gallery on September 12 from 6 - 8pm.  The show runs through October 24.
