Day 2

A little intervention, Sunday.



Drawing and collage.


And my new favorite thing... a folding coat rack!





Some Oakland photos behind Troy plexiglass.



Little paintings of local features.

Contemporary Artists Center: Day 1

Troy, NY

Arrived, met people, purchased provisions.





So far, I like this crazy church turned artists' all purpose space. It is my first stain glass windowed studio.

Booked, some new work at Forthrite

A new world of fake books as seen at Forthrite in Oakland.

A fantasy monograph.


Party messes from the seventies to today.






New visions of old predators.

Sharp!

Do they look better on the floor...

Take Down or Naked Platforms

Dis-assembly is fun.





For the record... the fine group of artists for "You wouldn't know contemporary art if it hit us in the face."

Z-axis, A Lobot Gallery Show

From an even more recent show: Z-axis at Lobot Gallery:
I was commissioned to make "Space Casestudy: Nightmare on Elm Street," for Z-axis, a show about the relationship between architecture and art. "Space Case-study" is part of a new series that re-interprets the space of a single horror film. I used a corridor type-structure to activate the images, stills from Nightmare on Elm Street, which explored dream spaces (seen in black and white) in relation to real space (seen in color).

Hatch Gallery Show

Titled "YOU WOULDN'T KNOW CONTEMPORARY ART IF IT SLAPPED US IN THE FACE," a nice group show, and location of my first big piece on the West coast. This piece, "Transitional Space Platform," is a composite of wood and images where each level highlights a transitional area found in horror films (i.e. corridors, stairs, portals...).
