EXHIBITS INDEX
Feeling the Foam, an installation during an event called "ClusterFest," September, 2011 in Anchorage. A small room was covered with a level of foam, and spaces were cut out for humans to stand inside. The foam was meant to simulate the feeilng of being in a shipping crate. It helped explore the idea possessions as travelers, having "lived" a life before arriving at our doors. ClusterFest was a fundraiser for the International Gallery of Contemporary Arta in a huge unfinished house, which featured "curated" rooms by different artists.
Anibots Bent on Revenge, a series of pencil drawings on paper featuring humans as they get their comeuppance for mis-treatment of animals. The first two drawings were exhibited at the IGCA for their group show "About Place." I am continuing the series, stay tuned.
Containers of Casualty, a solo exhibit at the Alaska Pacific University in the Carr-Gottstein Gallery in February 2011. The paintings were on molded paper forms typically discarded after a package is opened. The painted forms were also "framed" with a yarn textile woven to fit each piece. Most of the peices had a depth of about 3 inches. Some of the pieces helped keep electronic equipment to wine bottles safe during shipment.
Congregation of the Plain, several new abstract drawings on paper. The 2010 show was at the Midnight Sun Cafe in downtown Anchorage on 6th Ave and C St.
