Collage

Hello all! I have just returned from Alfred, visiting the Saxons as they swam spectacularly at states. I’ve been reworking many of my prints into collages, experimenting with layering and drawing. I’ve also created 3 dunny dolls with collage covers.

Henry Cabot Lodge

This is a scan of an altered biography of Henry Cabot Lodge. Personally I feel it was a little light on Lodge’s wrestling career, also his pivotal role in winning the hearts and minds of those he suplexed.

More new blocks.

I’ve continued the series and pictured below are some pieces inspired by a recent trip to new mexico.

New Blocks

I have carved up a batch of new lino blocks. They are a continuation of many of the patterns I’ve been using. I made three new Ethans that I will post soon. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

New Paintings

I have four paintings in the continuation of the earlier black and white series. Each of these is inspired by an event from this year.

Material Collages

These collages are part of a long material study I’ve been doing with four by four inch canvases.

Posted below is one aspect of my Senior show I didn’t describe too much earlier. It was an experiment for the most part. Each print was created out of found paper (I did a fair amount of trash picking this semester). I printed on them with linoleum block carvings, creating about 2700 or so prints.

Displayed as a large group on the wall, the scene was an overwhelming array of color. As show visitors stopped by they were invited to take a print and leave a dollar on the wall to pay for it. They were then asked to have it signed with a stamp at the table pictured in the foreground. The stamping itself was pretty funny, as I rarely did it and it was great to be able to say “Signed by the artist’s mother/sister/father”. Gradually the prints were replaced by dollar bills and as they built up I then switched out more prints.

I still have hundreds of these prints so I may find more methods to display and sell them.

Senior Show

My senior show went really, spectacularly well. Even a couple of days later I found some money up buying prints. 2700 prints! And about 450 sold!

Swine Flu

Here is a dance my friends and I did for our contact improvisation class. It was later entitled “Swine Flu”.

Senior Show Update

I am continuing my black and white painting series I started with these paintings below.
