g a s s i o t : S T U D I O is moving!
My studio is growing up snif. As of May 1st I will be packing up my art supplies, canvases, tools and shelves of found objects and moving them over to the east side! I have signed a lease with the pump project and can't wait to be a working member of this vivacious artist coop called the pump project.
The first open studio event in this new space will be May 22, stay tuned for more info!

2010 Arthouse 5x7 Show
I am excited to be participating in this unique event this year. If you have not been to this, it is definitely worth coming out for!
Here's how it works: All pieces are submitted by the artists using the 5" x 7" format (in any media) and signed only on the back side, so they may be displayed anonymously - the artist's name to be revealed only after the work is purchased. Each board is priced at $100, and all proceeds directly support Arthouse's exhibitions and public programs, which are always free of charge. 2010 participating artists included, among hundreds more, Tony Feher, Kelly Fearing, Sharon Engelstein, Vernon Fisher, Kay Rosen, Sterling Allen, and Margarita Cabrera.
5x7 will be held at the old Whitley Printing building this year at 301 Brazos Street in downtown Austin. (Arthouse on Congress Avenue is currently undergoing renovation)

Light box on display at Austin City Hall
Through January of 2011, one of my light boxes titled "The way I used to see things" is on display in front of the mayor's office on the second floor. As part of the juried exhibition for People's Hall, 150 artists were chosen from 3000+ entries. If you have not been in City Hall, it is a beautiful building and the art is quite impressive hanging in it. Also...be sure to vote for your favorite pieces while you are there!

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY...
"Your shadow boxes are exquisite! So visually different, different in materials and application, and yet they evoke a sense of familiarity...so strong that one gets lost in them. Your multi-dimensional boxes have a life of their own, and all who viewed them last evening were entranced by their beauty and sincerity. Congratulations!"

"The light from Brooke's sculptures is the same light that shone under our bedroom doors when we were young. It cast light on the ghosts and half-dreamed worlds that populated our nights and beyond, on the other side of the door, life."

"These gorgeous, glowing pieces are miniature installations inside wooden boxes"
