Recently, thanks to the miracle of Facebook, I got back in touch with my college friend Allison--who, as it happens, has a show in San Francisco (at the Toomey-Tourell Gallery, 49 Geary). So I went over there last night, caught up with Allison and her husband (whom I knew in high school, oddly enough), and shot a bunch of her work.

This is the piece shown in detail above the fold--thousands of resin-tipped butterfly pins fixed to a reflective surface.
One of several small (~6") porcelain cubes that you can pick up and look into.
John calls this one 'Aquarium', but the real name is something else.
Another hollow cube, this one in layered resin.

Glorious stuff!
Very cool! I'll have to head down the street and check it out soon.
Glad you like it! I was pretty impressed myself.
Looks like a great show. Nice shots too.
Beautiful resin work. Anyone who has gotten near the stuff realizes how quickly and easily the resin can get impossible to work with. Not for the faint of heart. It has a mind of its own!
The pieces look magical and the photos capture the depth of color and brilliance you can get with "well-tempered" resin. Wish I could see the work in person.
