Sorry for the lack of updates as of late–it’s not that nothing interesting has been happening, it’s the opposite actually. I moved to a new city (SF!), am working with new people, and perhaps most exciting–I’m exhibiting new work! I’ll have five original pieces from the work I produced at MacDowell this past summer in a small exhibit at Michael Mazzeo Gallery that I’m calling ‘Speed of Dark’.

Speed of Dark #333

The images shown are some of my first experiments with the subject matter and format, so I think it serves as a good introduction to the series. I’m still working on developing it into a larger body of work (and therefore a larger show) with this material, but I’m excited to be giving a preview of what’s to come. I’m also excited that I’ll be sharing the gallery with the talented Dave Jordano. Dave’s series of minimalist Midwest landscapes is the perfect complement to my dense patterns of light and shadow.

I should note that this is actually a pretty rare chance to see my original blueprints in person. For those who know my working process, the blueprints generally serve as an intermediary step towards the creation of the final piece. The fact that they are so fragile and light sensitive usually prevents me from exhibiting the originals, but sometimes they’re just too beautiful not to! I hope that if you happen to be in NYC this fall you’ll get the chance to see them. I’ll leave you with a short video of what I got up to this past summer…

Back from MacDowell, missing the time & space I had already. Here’s one last install shot of some new work. Will hopefully have this new work on the website soon.

“this light is like snowflakes!”

It’s so easy to be productive here…

Walked around with the strobe last night–I can’t see anything w/o it.

A couple weeks ago Thomas Seely from Breakthru Radio visited my studio in Williamsburg to chat about art, music, and the creative process. It was a great conversation, and luckily he recorded it! It’s featured on the program ‘Art Uncovered’, and features the interview, some original compositions, and some choice songs to make for an excellent hour of listening. Listen to the podcast here.

Join me this coming Saturday, April 17th, at 2PM at Michael Mazzeo Gallery for a panel discussion with the artists in the current show ‘Burning Desire’. The discussion will be moderated by P. Elaine Sharpe, and will include Marina Berio, Doug Beube, Davide Cantoni, Stan Gaz, Chris McCaw, and Amanda Means along with myself. This is a great opportunity to find out more about the huge variety of approaches in form and content this group of unique artists use in the creation of their art. Space is limited, so you should RSVP with the gallery.

My ginormous found photo collage/bleaching/silkscreen experiment ‘Atari Sunset’ is currently hanging in Michael Mazzeo Gallery. The show invite is below:

The opening is tomorrow evening–come on out!

T minus one week until the TRG shitstorm hits Minneapolis. We’re celebrating the release of our latest EP – Pop Not Soda – available as a 10″ record + digital download. For those who aren’t in-the-know, Tim Rally Gold is the band I’ve been part of since 2003. I’ve had some fun in the past weeks making posters, screen printing, and coming up with the set lists. If you’re around the Twin Cities this holiday season, there is absolutely no excuse you shouldn’t attend at least one of the following shows…

Buy the album here–t-shirts available at the shows, will add them to the online store soon.

Quick Italian lesson: ’studio’ means ‘I study’ (conjugated from ’studiare’). I’ve been trying to study as much as possible lately, but I feel my efforts have born little fruit. But a couple nuggets have emerged–for instance–I created a new site-specific piece at the Camera Club of New York. Parts of it are continually exposing throughout the course of the exhibition. It’s up until October 30th, but if you can’t make it–here’s a quick pic of what it looks like (nicely coupled with Dan Estabrook’s images on the left):

I’ve also been working on some new work in my own studio—a new suite of prints titled ‘Ultra Violet‘, as well as a couple one-off’s (continuing my interest in the crossover between sound and vision):
