Mausoleum Round 2 @ Artspin

Join me and a host of other artists at 99 sudbury for the 2nd annual Artspin Curated Exhibition. After walking through it again the other day, I have to say it’s a very strong show. All the artists did a great job and if you’re up for a night of art join us for the opening on Thursday, August 25th, 2011. I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed. As the title suggests, I”ll be exhibiting ‘the Mausoleum’ again and am looking forward to seeing it in a new setting. Hope to see you there!

Commute Home Installation

So the Lennox Show was just taken down but luckily the people at Commute Home let me put an installation up in their studio space. It’s at 135 Tecumseth St. but it’s not open to the public. If you’d really like to see it just let me know and we can arrange something. This is, of course, an expansion of the Mausoleum that I designed as part of a crit week that Mitchell Chan and I did earlier on in the summer. It’s now 9 books and a lot more pens.

Show on now until the 20th!

Thanks to all who came out on opening night! It was a really fun evening and everything went quite smoothly. The show will be up for another 2 weeks so if you haven’t gone yet or would like to show someone else you still can. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday, 12-5pm.

A New Addition to the Zoo

This is the only thing i have in regards to a process shot but the final will be in the gallery soon. It’s the commission i’ve been working on the last few weeks and my first new work in a while.

When asked to do the drawing i was told a story of whom it was to be given to, and given plans and photos of his house. I’ve never worked this way before but i found his backstory enriched the underlying concept — the interplay between perceived realities and the ideal. It’s an interesting way of working and I think overlaying characters or stories over concepts could be something to explore.

An Old Natatorium

I recently received a request for some old work from an old prof and thought i could throw it up here too. It’s a drawing of a elevated water park done with gouache on drywall. Its one of the few projects from school that i kept…too bad its near the pile of firewood at my parents house. New work coming very soon though!
