Sundial – Mark Alsweiler

Posted by Bob | Posted on August 19, 2011 by Bob

We are a bit late on this, but it’s too good to go to our photo graveyard.

Mark Alsweiler opened his solo show “Sundial” at China Heights a few weeks back and it was packed. The work was solid and the craftsmanship of the sculptures was a new step for Mark.

Apologies for the photos, as we said, it was packed out for the opening.
