Wednesday

the dark woods

This was what my desk looked like yesterday..
A new collage I finished 
but won't show you until after
the opening this saturday.
more from the dark woods series.
not the official name
but I like it for now.

Tuesday

my desk and the woods at night

I've been working on some collages..
Putting the pieces together with cutouts from
old travel magazines and books..Drawing on them also
with gold and black ink and pencil.
Here is a view of my desk in the studio.
When I am putting these together,
I'm thinking about the dark woods at night
and how difficult it is to escape. Shadows
and how far away the outside world is.



Wednesday

field communication


I made this announcement
for the next show at Musee16.
It's a collage for...



The show's theme draws inspiration from and
has to do with behavior modification, cults and reprogramming. 
{which I actually have a little first hand
experience with.. Not by my choice.  Parents seemed to
think it was a popular thing to send their kids off
 into the mountains, in the dark woods with backwards 
thinking strangers...
There are all sorts of good stories I can tell.
When I've been asked about it.. I would often compare that time 
of my life to Orwell's 1984, Kafka's stories and The Prisoner.
So- I was thinking about these things when I made this 

more things I made - sound maps

censored pages and wired photographs

Here is a collaboration piece that
James and I worked on together for the Current Location
Exhibit at Musee16...


Some of my altered sound wave photographs and
found stereoscopic eye exercise cards are on the wall..
And James' found old speaker which he re-wired
and one can faintly hear a recording
of himself playing the cigar box guitar.
