He spends his time c~nring woodblocks, planning and executing residencies with local schools as a Teaching Artist with the Idaho Commission on the Arts, and riding his bike. Love's work is collected and exhibited regionalty, nationally, and inthmationally. Statement: At times I work from a conception to a piece of work, goosing materials and subject in acxordance with the original idea. In this work the decisions along the way illuminate and compliment a speafic inquiry. At other times I work intuitively, ne~ntextualiaing found materials and ideas; creating osier in a seemingly chaotic world, and thus finding meaning. The resulting work gnyws and ~ it femmes clearer where it is moving I make Visions both formal and conceptual to aid the piece reach clarity.
