I have recieved my sets from the Headshot folio, a print portfolio curated by Tim Dooley and Bill Fick, at the Mid America Print Conference (MAPC) in Minneapolis. The boxes for the sets were created by Yee-Haw Industries, they look amazing and pull everything together nicely.
The entire folio was exhibited in the Regis Center for Art as a part of the conference. Currently, you can also see the entire portfolio online at the Red Rocket Gallery.
Old Planet- New Planet:
FedRecently I, with a group of 3 other students, have been awarded a First Year Interdisciplinary Grant from Syracuse University. Our proposal was entitled, “A Sense of Place”. Our project involves collecting thoughts, feelings, meanings and memories of specific public spaces and putting them on display, as a way for the space itself to “talk back”. In doing this, we are striving to create a dialogue between the space an its occupants.
One of my roles in the project will be the creation of the visuals used in to assist in collecting people’s reactions to certain spaces, as well as the later exhibition that will be created around this information. More information will be provided as the project progresses.
I stumbled across this photo last night of Superfly Lullabies‘ workshop, where in the background Julie had framed and hung one of my prints she purchased last spring. Speaking of which, nearly every variation of this print and all the Sick Prints mini series can now be found for sale at my new Cargoh store.
I have recently relocated to Syracuse, New York to pursue an MFA in Printmaking at Syracuse University. Hence the recent absence of updates as I settle into my studies.
