Designer's 1/2 " scale renderings were gridded and the outlines transferred to gridded kraft paper with charcoal. The lines were pierced with ponce wheels and the paper taped to stretched muslin drops and ponced with powdered charcoal. The dotted lines were then inked with Sharpies and the painters used mainly 4" lay-in and 3" sash brushes to base paint and add glazes.

We did Proof in a black box theatre set up in the round, we gave the audience the ability to encircle the entire backyard setting. we made a deck, and laid down turf it was an exceptional experience we then added a rusted/ aged effect to several of the pieces on the set including, chairs, swing, deck and railings, ect.

40' X 12' Mountain carved at the Alley Theatre out of foam, coated in jaxsan and painted with Off Broadway paints. The interesting thing about this mountain is that it is only 18" deep at its widest and had to be broken into 10 pieces for loading in purposes. Carved with sawzall (I wanted to use a chainsaw but couldn't)

Painted at Sam Houston State University in 2009 on raw unbleached muslin spattered with OB Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna. Rear projected with these da Vinci sketches, transferred with pencil and painted with OB Burnt Sienna.

Material was filled scrim. To keep it loose and flexible, we used Rosco Super Saturated paints. these could be thinned considerably and used like dyes. Maintained vibrant colours and remained totally flexible.
The show was "Kiss Me Kate" performed at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 2010, designed by David Farley.

We wanted to use primarily soft tones to intensify the nature of the show.

We wanted to find the balance between surrealism and realism expressed within the show through a minimalistic yet complex design.

We wanted to highlight the idea of hope in a bleak world through a mixture of grungy and bright appearances that facilitate emotion in an audience.

Projection frame is carved from bead foam, covered with Foam Coat and painted with Roscoe Gold paint. Props were embedded or hung on the frame.
