In this series of facial facades, or masks, I aimed to create three distinct pieces, each reflecting different aspects of my character. The materials I selected were inspired by my weekly 45-minute commute to Denton, Texas, often spent in heavy traffic. I wanted to incorporate the very elements that dominated my senses during these drives—metals, chrome, lacquer, and glass—materials that echoed the constant stream of automobiles around me. As I drove home in the evenings, the metallic surfaces would catch and reflect the vibrant colors of neon signs and traffic lights. This inspired me to introduce color into the pieces by carefully manipulating lighting to capture the full spectrum of hues within the dimensional forms. Ultimately, this series became a personal reflection of my life and experiences during graduate school.

Welcome to Euglyphics, a space dedicated to self-directed, self-motivated projects, centered around virtual dimensional expressions. In the 1980s, I began creating a series of facial facades—graphic, dimensional masks and faces painted with an airbrush—as a form of self-expression. However, as my commercial work took over, I had to put these personal projects on hold.

In 2006, I returned to school to pursue an MFA, revisiting this artistic journey 20 years later by transitioning from airbrushing to 3D sculpting. This site showcases that exploration. I hope you enjoy the art.
