WQED Interview

Susie Meister made a piece on "Art In Transit" for WQED and I was featured as one of the participating artists. It was a great experience and you can check us out here on YouTube! It's really wonderful that "Art in Transit" keeps receiving press and it's going to happen again in 2007, so look out for more calls for artists and new art on the buses!..

And my thanks to David Hill, fellow CMU alumnus, who is the owner of the piece I show off to the cameras!

Mellon College of Science Alumni Magazine

MCS Alumni Magazine (expected publication December 2006) will feature a blurb on my collaboration with Dr. Alison Barth that has resulted in the pieces "Spines" and "Mouse Hippocampus.."
