SponCon Silent Auction

Stop by the front counter of the store and sign up for a silent auction bidder number. With that bidder number you can place your bid by writing down your bidder number and bid amount on the bid sheets attached to each item. You need not be present to win (we’ll call to tell you you’ve won)!

On Deck V – Sold My Heart to the Junkman

Medium: Distressed love letters, coffee grounds, wheatpaste, copper sheets, copper tacks, inkjet print, reclaimed glass, copper wire.

The materials I used on the deck are designed to evoke an urban feel. I grew up in an industrial town…

Burning Man – Decompression

And the art! There was so much of it. And all of it free to be experienced and viewed by all. It really got m thinking about the directions I want to take my art – both in what I make, and in how it is consumed. Should I sell it? Should I donate it for sale to worthy causes? Should I give it away? Can I approach my art with a combination of these ideas? These are questions that I am still asking myself, and still answering. I, and my art, is in an evolutionary process, one that will never end, and one that excites me like I’ve not been excited about my art for a long time.

Adapt – New Paradigms for New Art

And now I think that I’m finished with it. I don’t know. I said that if the donated love letters and post breakup emails didn’t come in, the project would die. And the letters and emails aren’t really coming in. I’ve tried a donation center at the show, I’ve tried Craigslist postings, I’ve Facebooked it and Twittered about it trying to solicit letters for the project. All failed.

The Leaving and the Left – Teardrop on the Fire

Beginnings – The Leaving and the Left

I’ve been thinking about an art project of snippets of old letters under stacks of sandwiched glass mounted on wood. Details aren’t worked out yet, but here are some initial sketches of how the glass might be laid out, along with some notes. More as I progress on this. Doing data mining tonight.
