  3. Mariachi!

    2017-04-21 22:38:00 UTC

    I am honored to be involved in a t shirt design project for the 27th Annual Mariachi Spectacular de Albuquerque. It was a wild ride, but we’ve got an agreement on a design, and I’m happy with it. Firstly, I had the great joy of learning about Mariachi culture. I…

    2017-04-11 16:23:00 UTC

    Dead Celebrities of 2016, a collaboration with Lee Fearnside, just got more real. Facebook page!  Prince. Carrie Fisher. Leonard Cohen. David Bowie. Not to mention Glen Frey, Boutros Boutros Ghali, and dozens more. The Reaper was on turbo all year long. Both Lee and I got interested in the way…

  6. Side Project: Krampus and the Ass Hat

    2016-12-18 15:48:00 UTC

    I’ve always loved puppets. Seeing a giant puppet performance of Moby Dick as a special assembly in elementary school was a formative experience, prompting me to do my own shows at 10 or so using prefab puppets. I did an Anansi story, and after a bit did them for my…

  7. Unlocks, or: Psycho-Tetris

    2016-12-16 21:07:00 UTC

    I’m stunned again and again by the way my little brain works. I think I’m rational, but progress seems to come from interior interactions so complex they’re just baffling. Like a game of Tetris, in the dark. Inspirations, ideas, setbacks seem to fall through the mist of my daily life…

  8. New panels in process: Derrida, Foucault and Marie Vernet

    2016-11-09 17:10:00 UTC

    This series of paintings recapitulates arguments about the male gaze–my gaze as an Anglo male, heterosexual painter, and the gaze of many others–made by postmodern philosophers like Derrida and Foucault, and feminist postmodernists like Helene Cixous, 40 and 50 years ago.  As an example, the painting of Marie Vernet uses…

  9. Shifting Ground

    2016-10-27 20:08:00 UTC

    The Patriarch. Completed October 2016 in acrylic on panel, 16”x16”. I bought 20 16x16x2 panels from Albuquerque craftsman Bruce Loyd earlier this year. At the time, I hoped the move would help me expand the dimensions of my painting practice, firstly by giving me a bigger pool of panels to…

  10. In process: panels with projections

    2016-08-17 23:06:00 UTC

    Experimenting with my new PicoPro digital projector, I found thrills in the iridescence of the projected light on the tiny glass beads that make up the Golden medium I used in some of the panels. The images are chaotic, a kind of dreamland hinted at by the presence of floating…

  11. In process: new grounds, 3 layers later

    2016-08-17 22:22:00 UTC

    Using thin glazes and thick paint-mud, the ground-building process has continued. Knowing that I’m simply building a ground for later drawings and projections, I felt free to make pictures as they came to me. Some of them have strengths of their own, and may be close to done. And some…

  12. In process: new grounds

    2016-07-10 14:33:00 UTC

    After two weeks of chaos and destruction, I’ve wrung more space out of my studio. The plaster dust and nails are swept up, and I’m at last able to move forward on the 20 16” x 16” panels I’d prepped a ways back.  In the images here, I’ve manipulated Fiber…

  13. Request for Collaborators: Portraits

    2016-04-19 21:27:00 UTC

    Standing on a smoking battlefield at dusk, a man in a dark suit holds clean calfskin gloves and an iPhone 6s. He looks troubled, and a little hunched against the wind. He looks to be 50, Anglo, maybe Swedish. A man in a rumpled clown suit sits in a heavy…

  14. Progress: the defile

    2016-03-23 18:59:00 UTC

    Yesterday I finished work on a small piece now called The Conclave (Defile). I increased the number of crows in the far background, thinking about the unearthly magic of a vast swarm of swallows in the process. I added a much larger crow low front and center, hoping that this…

  15. Why KIIC is Awesome

    2016-01-08 03:41:00 UTC

    When I first encountered the Keshet Ideas and Innovation Center (KIIC), I was struggling to figure out what I was committed to, exactly. What would I produce? Furniture? Design? T shirts? Paintings? I hankered after all those things, and I figured I should stay open to all of them. Grow…

  16. State of the Art: Year’s End, 2015

    2015-10-14 23:07:00 UTC

    STATE OF THE ART: VISION I make art that connects us to place. To shared heritage. To our bodies, to our present moment, and to our practices of contemplation and community. My work is centered in an extension of contemplative practice. I call it “creative practice.” I draw inspiration from…

  17. Installation Process Proposal

    2015-10-06 17:32:00 UTC

    To an (as yet unnamed, potential performance) collaborator What kinds of materials are you interested in? And then, what kinds of materials are you willing to give me, in quantity? If you had to gather 10 trash bags full of X, what would X be–and how do you feel about…

  18. Materiality

    2015-10-05 21:17:00 UTC

    Materiality Do you have a fascination with eggs? With straw? With pencils? With masking tape? Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had an enormous amount of that stuff you just can’t keep your hands off of? What materials are you drawn to? And what are those materials…
