I’m nearly finished with a wall-drawing that I’ve been working on for the past week! My newest drawing installation, Line of Sight, will be unveiled during the opening of Double Spaced: An Exhibition in Pairs at Brooklyn College. I am very pleased to be a part of this special exhibition welcoming Dean Maria Ann Conelli to her new appointment as Dean of Visual, Media and Performing Arts.
Please join us for the opening on Monday, December 12 from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. (map)
Hello all! I am participating in this exciting exhibition. See you there!
Cluster Bomb is a group exhibit at the Bowery Poetry Club. It will be displayed on the Elizabeth Murray Art Wall. The show will open Friday December 9th, and close January 1st 2012.
The work in this exhibit isn’t necessarily explosive. It is about creating a space packed with clashing, harmonizing, and buzzing energy that overwhelms and intrigues . The amount and diversity amongst the artists is wide and varied. If you can find a common theme please let us know. The goal is to pop you out/into/through some void or “artistic experience.”
All the work is priced under 500.00 and above .50. So come out support the artists, and the amazing Bowery Poetry Club.

On Saturday the 10th of December, come to Greenpoint and experience ground breaking experiments in education. It’s all happening in a Church basement. So, come, commune with God, and shoot a Nerf bow and arrow at Hulk Hogan! While you let go of who you are, complain to eager ears, and relax with a cup of tea, or make a toast to God.
This is the final collaborative project of the semester between PIMA (an interactive interdisciplinary MFA) and the Studio Art MFA at Brooklyn College. This collaborative effort creates experimental art school with public interaction in mind. So, appear, arrive, attain, be accessible, be at disposal, be convenient, be handy, be obtainable, be ready, blow in, bob up, breeze in, check in, draw near, drop in, enter, fall by, fall in, get in, make it, make the scene, materialize, move toward, pop in, pop up, punch in, ring in, roll in, show up, sign in, spring in, turn out, turn up, or wind up at this incredible eye opening event.
Hello! While I continue to work on my new website (coming soon!) I thought it would be nice to post some images of Timeline is its final stages. Timeline was a wall-drawing piece that I completed over the course of one year as a staff artist-in-residence at Vermont Studio Center from January 2010 to January 2011. (click on the images to get a closer look.)
I just stitched together some photographs of my studio at Vermont Studio Center. I’ve been working on a wall-drawing installation here in Vermont since January 2010. I spent most of January conditioning the walls with a complete drywall refurbishment and fresh coat of paint in order to create a suitable surface for the drawing. I have about 30% of my wall-drawing complete, though I hesitate to think in quantitative terms (like “complete” and “30%”) since this has been such a process based installation for me. The plan is to draw, starting at the ceiling, and continuing until the the drawing reaches the floor, but plans change and I’m open to the drawing taking on a life of it’s own.
I’m on residency as a staff-artist at Vermont Studio Center until the end of December 2010.
I’m dedicating a year’s time to the creation of a wall-drawing installation in my studio at Vermont Studio Center in the Green Mountains of northern Vermont. For the past two years, I’ve been exploring a new kind of mark-making technique that has become a kind of language - moving from the page, then to a scroll and now to the wall as an all-encompassing wall-drawing installation. By year’s end, the drawing will cover the entire studio, measuring 11 feet high by approximately 50 feet long. This video documents the first phase of the drawing installation starting in January and continuing through April, 2010.
I recently collaborated and performed at Vermont Studio Center with activist poet, Kimberly Dark. This particular project is addressing the threat of rape in our culture and how we deal (and don’t deal) with it. After our performance at VSC, we invited audience members to participate in a dialogue about the piece, its effectiveness to communicate and its cultural relatively. I feel honored to have had the chance to collaborate with Kimberly, who infuses her poetry and performance with such a powerful and engaging voice.
We performed the piece right before NPR ran a news investigation on sexual assault on college campuses and the broken justice system currently set in place to handle the cases. The timing of our performance with the related piece of press offered a sense of immediacy to the project. We hope this video can reach many people and foster a constructive conversation about this collective threat.
