After discussing the principles behind an aesthetic experience, my 480r class went outside and created a situation where we might be able to have an aesthetic experience. We originally wanted to put the sand on a pedestal on the middle of BYU's quad, but the gallery director explained that the BYU grounds are outside of his jurisdiction. So, we put the sand on the ground in a pile and watched people walking by. read more »

Phase III
This is the third stage in this series of paintings. Some new paintings. Karl let me borrow his projector and I used some of the 3D characters I built in Swift 3D. I also introduced some images from airline safety cards. I think those images get more to the root of where these ideas came from. read more »

Measuring the Tide
While in Florence, Oregon this year, I had planned to do some site specific art. However, I have learned that a site which has as much emotional connection in a certain way to me as does Florence makes it very difficult to think of the site in any other way. Florence is a place of contemplative thought and mourning for me, making "art" difficult. read more »

Tibetan Flags again
Again, I tried to go up Rock Canyon and install some prayer flags. This time I made them more coherent, all using the Target Stores' standard shopping bag. I also thought that, with the increase in number of flags, there would be a stronger presence. Although they looked great in person, while standing inside the installation, as seen from a distance, they looked small and insignificant. read more »

Phase II
Second stage of working on these four pieces. I am still struggling with spacial relationships. I'm happier with the latest one I started and the balance between "media saturation" and visual narrative. Need to start putting these in shows and see reactions to them. You might want to visit here to see what these paintings used to look like a month ago. read more »

Frames
I have spent the past 8 months working on this idea. Originally, I was trying to engineer a way for building a 10 foot cube (or larger) out of lightweight material that could be quickly set up and quickly taken apart. PVC pipes don't really fit either of those qualifications, but they are cheaper than titanium and they stand out better against the shapes and colors of nature. Plus, we are able to have friends come help build these boxes and interact more with the community. read more »

Prayer flags up Rock Canyon
A week ago, my advanced studio class went with me up Rock Canyon park and we installed some prayer flags on the mountain side. I have been interested in Buddhist and Hindu religions for a long time; I have read many Vedas in trying to understand Eastern Philosophy and religion. One of the things which interests me is the connection between Tibetan religious life and so-called "Mormon" religious belief. I wanted to investigate connections beyond those of geographical local. read more »
