Tom Montan, the Executive Director of Sculpture Spaces, expressed his enthusiasm about Jeff's upcoming residency, stating, "Jeff embodies a strong sense of exploration and robust maker energy that is essential for the transformative experiences we aim to support through our program." Montan is particularly excited about the dynamic Jeff will bring to the community, anticipating that his unique artistic approach and commitment to process will resonate deeply within and beyond the Sculpture Spaces community.
Jeff will be in residence from October 2024 through June 2025, a period during which he will bridge several shorter-term residencies, providing continuity and a unique perspective that spans these diverse artistic cycles.
