Walk, Bike or Drive By Gallery

A few years ago I started working with MAX/MSP as a way to create, combine and mediate photo images created over time.  A month ago Propp Jones Studio and Anchor Press, Paper and Print (formerly The Center for Collaborative Research ) began sharing a space that will function as our public gallery. All our activities will be shared on our screen. This is being done to respect safe distancing mandates to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.   The projections will be visible on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7 till 10 pm, next door to Dakini Healing Arts at 5603 7th Ave, Kenosha WI 53140 Love One Another- Notations from Gridville  Projection - 9/2020 D.

I am tired and angry that yet another Black man has lost his life, and the calls and protests fall of deaf ears.

Every fucking moment. That would be exhausting, frustrating and in time would either bring resignation, sadness and anger-   I see and feel both now. And part of the populat...

Projections using MAX

"M Riding in Landscape" 8/14/2020 Screen grab- from window projection I was raised around cameras so it became my way of seeing, of navigating my surroundings. Now I can generate a series of constantly evolving string of images never to be repeated- Gone in minutes.   The images measures about 6' X 19' and are projected through translucent screens.     I am enjoying making these images and can see all sorts of possibilities. Perfect way to view images in the time of covid 19 and social distancing.
