under overpass
April 6, 2009
well the styrofoam has begun to trickle in….but I sure am gonna need more, a lot more. Please keep me in mind as you move through your worlds, knowing I am going to breath new life in to the stuff. Don’t forget to peruse my website sometime, as when I start beating the bush for styrofoam I sometimes am referred to as the ‘styrofoam artist’, which is really just a piece of what I do. I have a long history of using what I find and trying to change the way we see it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the stuff, but I am as likely to use any number of materials at any time – and this I believe is indicative of a contemporary practice. I’ll use any media necessary to the success of the work. Essentially I am invested first and foremost in drawing, as I see it as the beginning of all visual communication. I just happen to draw primarily on a computer. I plan on making a 3 part installation, specifically for the studio site. Part of the installation will be a very large sculpture, there will also be a giant painting directly to the wall, and I intend to have at least 25 frames of a portion of my collection of drawings.
Last week I took a few photos under the overpass.
