Open Parentheses

We had a great time participating in this years Studio West Tour as a guest of the Hopkins Center for the Arts!
thanks to everyone who stopped by for showing interest in the work of local artists, and special thanks to the art center for putting on the event.
If you saw a piece at the event and missed the chance to buy you can always inquire about the piece by emailing me at iannystrom@gmail.com.

If you’re reading this, thanks for stopping by the webpage. I’m grateful as always for the support!

It was an honor to participate in this year’s Art Shanty Projects!
Our Shanty, titled ‘Time. Light. Color” was meant to be a combination of a sundial and color wheel (the sundial part didn’t pan out so well since the weather was overcast for the duration of the event) paired with three color changing viewing stations.

Even though the event had to close early due to unseasonable heat we had a blast and I’d like to thank everyone that came out to see us on ice!

I’ve updated the online page with images of new pieces I’ve made over the last year (or two years… I’m a little slow to document works).

New works include~

Hexmesh, 2021

Lillies, 2021

Forest Moon, 2022

Moonlit Branches, 2023

T-Square No.1 & T-Square No.2, 2023

Orbit, 2022

Triangle Web, 2023

Triangle Strand

One of these days I’ll get some decent lights for my little photo sweep, until then this is about the best I can do for photos. There are still a few more pieces I need to document and upload so look forward to seeing those in the near future!

Fresheye Yulemart goes until December 23rd.

I’m always very excited to display work with so many talented artists and support great organizations!

Come see work by the wonderful members of the North Suburban Center for the Arts (including two new pieces by me) through november 12.
If you visit the gallery you can also pick up a tote bag celebrating the NSCA’s security dog, (graphic by yours truly) proceeds from which contribute to the ongoing renovation of the NSCA’s new home and other NSCA programs.

One of my dimensional wall sculptures will be in this show at the Rumriver art center in Anoka.
It’s my first time being in a show there, come on by and take a look!
I’m always hoping to get feedback from people that have the chance to see the work in person.

11-3pm 10/16

Fridley, MN
