Missed a Day , But it's Alright!
Tuesday - Pulling down work, exposing dust-covered walls and ledges. Time flies while I'm looking for things to do. After the Fall, Jan 6, 2021 4-color lithograph 2024 Refining the process, clarifying the reasons. Fingers slowly closing, time to take the ferry to the other side.

The Objects of Clutter OR Catch and Release The blog may be the perfect repository of things recycled, given away or perhaps placed in a box marked "Things to be dealt with after I die" For the next while I am going to scan or photograph the objects that have been left in drawers, on shelves, piles on desks or in boxes Each object has a memory attached to it. Mono Due Ed Paschke Pin 2000 I am not quite sure when I received this pin, but it has knocked around in my studio for years. I have stuck it into wallboard and homosot. I may have even worn it at some unremembered time. It was the first object I grabbed when thinking about restarting the blog. I knew Ed and was starting to develop a working relationship with him before he passed on November 2004. A Test Blocks Three block letter A - test laser cut blocks for the artist Kay Rosen . We were working with the idea to print embossed letters onto white paper, but actually the blocks would have been debossed. The...

Saturday March 4th 2023 Composition #8 Just about every day, I drive by this decrepit, falling-down roadside produce stand, and I think about taking photographs of the stand someday, documenting the passage of time and neglect.

And they lay, sometimes for centuries, decomposing, deteriorating, only to become part of the landscape. Composition #9 I was returning to my car after about 15 or 20 minutes of exploring the site and making images when a dirty black pickup truck rolled close to where I was standing. I was just about to get back into my car, and he said, "Hey, This is private property and there is no trespassing." I walk to his truck thinking I'll explain what I was doing and no big deal.

As I continue to explore image making, using technology to morph and bend images, I see a correlation between the visual artists and musicians who use various tools to extent the visual and musical range of their pieces. In preparing for an exhibition at the Anderson Arts Center, I am using my "machine" to generate images that provide me with new possibilities in how an image is read, constructed and displayed. Is it a static piece or is it a moving sequence of transitional images in time? or can it be both? The following images are stills from short film pieces, constructed through the"machine" and then further refined through photo editing software. Much the way one would dodge and burn an image while in the darkroom, or use a number of negatives to create an image. I am refining and exploring the multiple possibilities of bending and morphing images. The Name of the Exhibition at the Anderson Arts Center is: "Unfounded Rumors, Ima...
