The work of my studio at the Art Studio at RDG Planning & Design - dedicated May 2023 - in the LA Times : https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/story/2023-05-05/huntington-beach-debuts-newest-public-art-piece

New public art piece in Huntington Beach is 'a dream come true'

"To See Yourself in Nature," an installation close to the heart of a former mayor, is located in Central Park, behind the library.

(work in process- second layer state) graphite on paper - working out relational patterns of rectangular forms in various states of open/ closed units on a flat surface in non-perspectival space (blah, blah, blah) this is my way of discovering pattern and form that I happen to enjoy and the energy it gives off visually… (at West Branch Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_DTIzuEHa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Draggin’ The Line, Austin Riddle, earthenware, 2023 - (Archie Bray Resident Artist - @queencityclay - 2023) #nceca2023 - really nice work here…. …………………..Very few artists here (if any) seem to be thinking of the work as parts and pierces in relationship to a larger whole… (it maybe due to only seeing “some” of the work on exhibit….but it’s as if the whole world exists in only one place , at one time-- in one pot (it may) for most - and they are nice too - but so self contained that it’s hard to get into the same space with the artist - these larger multiples seem to be more open and inviting in my opinion…. Great work all around but this one is one of my faves at this conference…. @austinriddlepottery (at Queen City Clay) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-pY_Zu0DR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
