Featuring a range of the artist’s creative output, this exhibition includes a large-scale wall panel, intricate paper quilts, and new bronze sculptures in various forms of completion that will allow Museum visitors to learn about the different stages of bronze casting. The artist will also re-create his sewing room, complete with the incredible mountains of paper used as source materials in his unique sewn paper compositions.

He splits his time between his studio in Bonny Doon, California, and traversing the globe making highly acclaimed films. His fine art has appeared in solo exhibitions in cities round the world including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, Tokyo, and Copenhagen.
