The mail (junk and otherwise!) is the only source of materials for this series of collages, created from whatever was delivered each day over a three month period. I'll have more than 70 small works on display. Hope you can come take a look!Overlooked Artifacts: The Daily Mail SeriesOctober 24th to November 17th, 2013Special Events...

Lots of framing to do...

The assembly line!                    My next exhibition at Spark Gallery in Denver includes collages made from papers culled from each day's mail over a three-month period. So I have 70+ small works to frame in the next week or so.This is always the hardest part of preparing for a show: the detailed and tedious parts of signing, labeling, inventorying, matting, framing (cleaning glass)... I'd much rather be working on new collages, or the commission I have with looming deadline! Ah, well, I'm getting there with the help of a neighborhood teenager's assistance and the knowledge that it'll all be worth it when it's up on the wall. The opening reception is on Friday, October 25th from 6-9pm. Save the date!

Art of Rubbish video recap

in , , , ,

Working at the "Rubbish" event.      To see something of the Art of Rubbish event on video, scroll to  22:10 in Aurora's News Weekly... the segment includes interview moments featuring me,janiceinterviewartists Brenda Stumpf and Lily Erb, Art in Public Places coordinator Mary Koernig, and a cameo from Ken Elliott. I think I said more interesting things in the course of my five minute interview but here's what remained after editing!It was a really fun day and great to have it captured on video and promoted by the city. Hopefully there will be a repeat performance next year with more artists involved and an even larger community turnout.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxjhviYun3I&feature=share&list=PL752A37D6CDC4A7B5&index=12
