Collages

I've been working on a lot of collages lately. They came out of personal ideas on (and experiences with) gender, sexuality, erotic gesture, and metamessages. I am still just enjoying playing around with process. I'll continue to make a ton of them until I can really dissect and assess the series. Right now, they each feel like short visual poems.

I'm looking forward to making more of these with my own photographs and printing these collages digitally on to fabric and wallpaper.

Documents of Control

100th post - Summer 2015

Here is some photo documentation of the work I did this summer. I've been working on a lot of big projects for installation. I also did a ton of prints, mostly through intaglio and monotype processes.

Printmaking

I went and printed at the Newark Print Shop today. Here is my favorite print from the day...

Yesterday I finished creating a fabric printing table. I tested out some blocks and made the following print.

Spring 2015

I've been slowly saying goodbye to a lot of old work. Mostly things that I just don't want to hold on to anymore. My main motivation is to make room for new work. I recently sold this large piece from 2009. Overwritten, 2009, dye printed silk fabric, 101x43in.

Here are some more studio shots that I neglected to post. These are some things that I was playing around with this past spring. Many of these were an effort to find ways to reintroduce color back into my larger pieces.

Winter 2015

I realized that I haven't updated in a long time...and not for lack of making work. The school year was very busy and I think I just forgot. Here are some documents of things I was playing around with in the studio during the winter of 2015. Lots of different ideas. New variations on old ideas.

 
 I'm beginning to come to terms with (and like) the white space I always seem to leave on the page.
