The next few images will have the crumbling stone arch maquette in various stages of reconstruction, toward this state.

Studio setup for photograph + drawings

planes like leaves thrown up by passing cars.
i used a drawing (also below) of a stack of those steel plates that cover road repairs in this one. the stack was on the corner of S3rd and Havemeyer. the green stuff is packing peanuts cut in strips.

Studio setup for a photograph

With a drawing and other bits of stuff. The final photograph will be part of Storm Story.

A handful of new drawings

These small drawings are only a part of the final photographs. You can see how they are used by comparing the small drawing top left with the studio setup for a photograph in the previous post.


a winter storm landscape studio setup

Sunday 10th studio setup for a new image for the Storm Story series. There are bits of styrofoam and pastry sugar, strips of paper, plastic wrappers, old packing tape, cotton and a small drawing. I was thinking of a winter storm – will know when I print it.

Drawings from the highlands

more backgrounds for photographs – drawings made on a trip to the hudson highlands, and wandering around NYC

I guessed – you guess. (+ exhibition news and new drawings)

There are no more clues on the back. another favorite: “I liked the way you said goodbye” written below a lake scene that’s mostly obscured by foreground branches.

for the moment, i’ve gone over the edge into a crazy obsession with postcards. the views that are both generic and obscure combined with a shorthand intimacy make me wonder what sort of narrative could be invented. the brief text was necessary because the so-called postcard era (1900-1906) precluded any text save for address on the back. A new body of work may be forthcoming..

“Let’s spend our vacation in…”
I will be in a group show in the spring of 2010. my piece will be a maquette of a power plant type of structure set into a rocky cliff bordering a lake, waterfall and bridge. The piece will be about anticipation.

here are a two new drawings made while traveling by bus. these will be backgrounds in new constructions for photographs.
