Video Installation . . . Memory



Here are the three 1x8 foot panels onto which the video will be projected. The footage is found/appropriated home movies from the 1960s. It has a vertical and horizontal reflection in the vein of Wolfram's crosses. Over that footage there is animated letter forms and glitch graphics . . . I will take some shots of the actual installation after it is up and running.

Pigs ready for the fair


These four will be hanging in the Marxhausen gallery in a week along with some prints and a video installation . . . And other faculty work as well.


These will shortly be installed in the kitchen to hold back the dachshund while we are away. . . Some pine 1x4s, paint and screws. . . 

Another Small Lino



This image got a bit fragmented and lost — the subject matter is Caleb in front of a CAT backhoe. The complexity of the image was hard to represent at this scale, but it'll make for a great large print at some point this spring.

Sketchbook Lino



Small 3.5"x5.5" lino printed in a few of my small sketchbooks. I wanted to start and finish something in a short amount of time tonight, this fit the bill.

Conserve



Two color, three screen, print on map. The emulsion blew out a bit over the face, but it ended up creating an interesting, if not somewhat ambiguous image. The clor on this map is pretty dope as well.

Hand painted beer sign


I don't know if I have ever shown you this. My father-in-law gave this to me after having it stored in his basement for years. The other side of the sign is slightly different since each was painted by hand. We researched the company a few years ago and if I remember correctly this was a brewery in Chicago a few decades back. The sign came from a bar in eastern Iowa that burned down . . . The sign is a little over four feet tall.
