Entries in the Studio (1)
Marks and Models at the Studio, Laconia, NH. July 6-August 3.
Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 8:54AM My series of drawings, 30 Radiographic Shooting Sketches will be on display this summer at the Studio (http://thestudionh.blogspot.com/) in Laconia, NH. There will be an opening reception on Friday, July 6.
These drawings were executed on paper that I found while exploring the abandoned Packard plant in Detroit, MI. Among the rubble was a small pile of "radiographic shooting sketches." While a few of them are stained and folded, I was immediately excited by the possibilities they presented. Inspired by the Packard plant's combination of architectural rubble and graffiti I started the series of drawings once I got back to my studio.
I used the shooting sketches like the graffiti artists used the building, a "found" surface to react to. The rectangle within each sheet was my space to play with, to ignore, to fight with.

Also on view will be fashion dolls created by my life partner and studio mate, Paul Pham (http://dollcis.com/). It will be the first time we have shown our work together outside of our studio.
Bring your quarters, the 50 cents drawing box will also be on display!
