Above are a few initial sketches of tiles for a collaborative project with artist Elif Uras. Our idea is to create a ceramic tiled fountain that deals with Turkish Armenian history and the ceramic traditions of Iznik and Kutahya. The fountain is part of a project called Blind Dates, organized by curators Neery Melkonian and Defne Ayas--where artists whose roots lie in the former Ottoman empire are paired together. An exhibition is planned for Nov. 2010 at Pratt Manhattan gallery.

Four recent paper towers are on display at Rupert Ravens Contemporary in Newark, NJ as part of the show Vessel, extended through February 13, 2010.

I will be showing Avestan in an upcoming show at Nurture Art called "Who is Afraid of Ornament?" curated by Natasha Kurchanova. It will run from April 23 to May 30th.

I just finished a fifth paper tower (based on the Coptic alphabet). It will appear in a show at Mount Airey Contemporary Art in Philadelphia opening in mid April.

I have some older drawings for sale on a website called 1213gallery that recently launched. I also have some drawings (the 2004 series) available through Heskin Contemporary in Manhattan.

Thank you for your interest and support!
