Streetlight

 

I had to move my mattress and sleep in the living room for 3 days while painting this.  It’s the view of the intrusive streetlight across the street from my window.

Green Spandex Sculpture

The following are pictures from my second sculpture project.  It’s been very interesting working in three dimensions for the first time this year with my sculpture course, and very  enjoyable as well.  This project challenged students to learn to work with new materials and I opted for a fluorescent green spandex-type fabric.  I made 14 different mini-sculptures using this fabric, wire, painting stretchers and thumb tacks.  Conceptually, I wanted to emphasize the exploration within the piece  as a departure from my own art, but also in the viewer’s experience.  The pieces were hung in a loose circle in the middle of the room from fishing line.  As viewers move around the room, the composition and view of each mini-sculpture changes with their perspective.  It was my goal to have people create their own favorite views of the piece simply by exploring different angles, heights, and even interactive elements (some of the pieces were rotatable) of the work.

Some New Shit

Holla Ballas, sorry it’s been so long since a new update. Since my adoring fans have been clammering for some new fodder, here it is yo:

These first two are just some stuff I did around Vassar:

And these are all works from my painting class throughout the last semester:

Sorry about the bad quality of some of those last ones, in painting class we sometimes paint on the more-economical but less photogenic shellacked paper. Peace!

Scenes from Vassar

These are gouaches I’ve done in the past couple weeks at Vassar.  I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the library, in my opinion the most beautiful building on campus.

New Albany

Here are some paintings I did over spring break, while I was spending time in my hometown.

The CMH one is about 1/2 way done. The rest are gouaches with one acrylic painting and I did them mainly at night in the dark.

BIG TRUCKS

Here are three paintings I made at the end of last year. I guess I made them in response to the crisis facing the automakers, but in reality I just like painting trucks. BIG trucks.
