NEWS FROM KEVIN CARON
Whether he's shooting sparks in the studio or planting pixels for new designs, sculptor Kevin Caron's always up to something. Keep up with Kevin here with .... FROM THE HOMEPAGE... Spirit of the Sense Salon to Visit Studio The Spirit of the Senses group will be visiting Kevin's studio on Saturday, March 13. "You couldn't pick a more beautiful time of year," Kevin says. Kevin spoke to the group about his work last year, but this is the first time they will see where Kevin creates his work. For more information about Spirit of the Senses, visit its Web site.  After Escher Sold at Contemporary Forum AuctionKevin's sculpture After Escher was sold at the February 20 annual auction of the Phoenix Art Museum's Contemporary Forum, a special interest group dedicated to promoting contemporary art. "It's an honor to have a sculpture in the live auction of this wonderful organization," Kevin says. Kevin was also one of six artists asked to create special "table art" pieces for the event. SMOCA Docents Visit Studio  Kevin was pleased to welcome the docents from the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art for a studio visit on Wednesday, February 17. "It's always fun to have a group visit the studio, especially art lovers," Kevin says. He demonstrated for them some of the equipment he uses to create his pieces, and answered questions about his work. Randy, the giant candy apple red caterpillar, even went home with one of the docents. "I'm glad Randy found a home," says Kevin, "although we'll miss him." To see the studio all spiffed up before the tour, check out the video "At the Studio". Kevin Helps Class Realize Project When the community calls, Kevin answers. "We live in the best neighborhood ever," Kevin says. So when Mrs. Hanlon's 4th grade class at Hopi Elementary School in Phoenix asked for his help creating a chandelier from recycled barrel hoops, Kevin gladly complied. The students bent wire to hold the votive candles that hang from the hoops for the lights. The chandelier will be auctioned as part of the school's annual fundraiser. Kevin was going to simply make metal rings, as he didn't have any barrel hoops - until his sister-in-law called out of the blue and said she had some for him, if he wanted them. "It was a little spooky - apparently it was meant to be!" Kevin says. The students and their parents visited the studio on Saturday, March 6 to help their creation come to life. New in the Studio Perchering is back from the sandblaster, so Kevin is doing a little touch up on it - which you can see in the videos on its page - while also working on a new project. There are some new photos of what some say looks like a pen nib, others say looks like a yoga hand position, and some are calling "the flame" - check it out on its own page.  A new creature has crept into the mix, too - check out HairyTerry as she develops.Kevin is still working on his ongoing challenge, too, a sculptural Klein bottle. He has been adding a ring or two at a time. "This is an optical illusion to build. "It's one of those projects that will take a while," Kevin admits. See the latest photos of this new piece on its own page. He is also working on the studio itself with pal Mike, preparing to take the next step in enclosing the studio. "It's time," Kevin declares. Check out the latest photo in Kevin's Studio Photo Gallery to see the first pictures of the work. New in Video: Delivering to a Gallery Delivering work can also require some creativity. Kevin uses some Yankee ingenuity when delivering Sashay to Wild Holly Gallery. See for yourself in his latest video. Really? For five years, Kevin has sponsored an international radio show hosted by his lovely assistant, Mary. "Eye on the Web" focuses on fun Web sites. "And I have fun finding them," says Mary. Check it out on its own little site. Just for You How does a commission develop? Kevin shares his process with you on the new Commissions page on the site - click here to see it for yourself.
