His solo exhibitions Another Utopia, Lamontagne Gallery, Boston,and Modular Forms,Gleb Gallery, Phillips Academy Andover MA, used modular formed Lagenaria gourds, created and grown by the artist as a way to think about sustainable architecture andbuilding blocks for the future. His work has been noted in Architizer and Inhabitat, along with being reviewed in Art in America, and featured on the cover of Sculpture magazine.
