Make Many Things is an exhibition of selected works from several series of objects and images that the artist created during the last eighteen months. The variety of styles, materials and mediums on concurrent display echoes the artist’s dynamic studio practice and reflects inspiration from a recent museum research trip. The exhibition features photographs, scanographs, furniture design, graphic design and sculpture. Make Many Things is a curated cacophony of artistic activity, revealing the relentless curiosity, imagination, and idiosyncrasies of a committed maker of things.
