Four-thousand and twenty square inches of work.

I've been blowing-off the whole process of taking pictures of the shows for a couple days now. Mostly because after framing and hanging all the work I got really sick of being in it's proximity. You'd never tell from these pictures, but the work hung well.

The reception's next week. You should come. I've got an extra room. . .

I gave myself a week off from making anything new. I also started working a "real" job for the first time in three months. I covered half a dishwashing shift for someone last monday. I actually had a $34 paycheck in my box at work.

I'm trying to figure out how to add water to the newest prints. Who knows? It might work out.

Here's a copy of the statement that hangs with the show:

Untitled Exhibition*
February 1st - 29th
Reception:
February 13th, 7pm

The Union

This series of prints originally appeared in the book Air in the Paragraph Line illustrating each of the twenty-three short stories contained within. The initial computer-derived designs were stripped of their text and hand printed for the Man-Shaped Animals portfolio that was first displayed in October 2007 at the Frontiers in Printmaking conference in Normal Illinois. The original hand-bound portfolio, complete with cutout silhouette placeholders, now resides in Hollywood California.

$50 each, framed

Perks Coffee House

These five drawings represent a series of six pieces produced in Kolkata during a two-week stay at Artspace India in November and December of 2007. These images disrupt the featureless interior of the silhouette forms used in the Man-Shaped Animals portfolio by introducing equally featureless transparent entities.

$400 each, framed

The single print represents the next evolution in the series of Man-shapes. The Missed-prints flavor the figural voids of the man-shaped animals and their translucent companions with a semi-transparent "mist". This haze subsists to further discriminate between the solid black space of the original figures and the insubstantial presence of their luciferous shadows.

$300 framed

*These pieces are untitled. Consistent with the featureless nature of their presentation, they remain linguistically uncategorized as individual objects. Like all shadows, they are known only by the place in time that their shapes fill.

And, ya know, one of these would probably look great in your bathroom.

The little prints look great against the brick wall!


And, I'll have u know, that I've been trying to wiggle the word "luciferous" into almost every conversation.

Maybe I should hang them outside somewhere.
