Perpetual Inventory


Happy New Year!

Note: A quote from a book that I just finished reading.

"With Graffiti we encounter yet another form of heterogeneity within the field of representation, one that relates to the invasive nature of this type of mark, its criminal character, so to speak, the fact that it is defined by being a violation by the marker of a space that belongs not to him but to another. Thus, no matter what the iconic character of the configuration, the graffiti mark is, like a photograph, always structured indexically, as the trace of the marker's passage, a trace that is therefore always a signature, a sign whose signified always reads, "Kilroy was here; I was here."

-Rosalind J. Krauss (Perpetual Inventory)

Upcoming - MLB Fan Cave



Hard Edge Paintings MLB2-NYM and MLB3-OA, 2014

These are two of four paintings that will be on view at the MLB Fan Cave in New York City opening April 3rd from 7-9pm. I also will have new microphone sculptures and mix media collages on view. Looking forward to the show. These paintings are a unique body of work for me. The colors are based on specific MLB team colors and the tags I use are of rappers who are fan of these teams. I chose the diamond shape in reference to the baseball diamond but also because of its association with modernist artists such as Piet Mondrian. I thought because of the venue I'd make the four paintings play off of these elements. Normally the color choices for my paintings are arbitrary. I think of these works as unique pieces.

Microphone Check @ Hionas Gallery













Microphone Check @ Hionas Gallery

Images from my solo exhibition "Microphone Check" at Hionas Gallery in NYC. On view until July 7th. I'm pleased with the exhibition and happy that all the paintings in the show will have new homes. Hopefully all the other work in the show will sell as well. It would be nice not to have to send work to storage. Four more weeks to go!

Hionas Gallery



Hard Edge Painting #127
72" x 48"

Another new painting for "Microphone Check"at Hionas Gallery. The paintings in this show are the first to incorporate my use of the computer to layout various areas of color. In the past I simply just blocked out areas using pieces of mat board which took a long time. Now, after I spray the tag and lay down two colors, I rephotograph it and finish it off on photoshop. I then use the study to mask off sections and lay down color. It saves so much time and has opened up more stylistic avenues to explore.
