Five new photos

These are some very hastily taken photos of five new panels I picked up from the workshop just before I took off for the OFC. They are smaller than the others and will be offered singly. They will be available at Regalame Gallery starting December 5th. I plan on posting these again when I can get better photos.

Discoveries from the week of November 15 to November 21

Including a red elephant and a jeweled hair thing.

First new fabric design in a series.

" You are trapped on the earth so you will explode"

I have always liked the succinctness and head-knocking effect of Jenny Holzers Truisms series.

I title this fabric as an homage to her pared down aesthetic...

An equal and opposite reaction, a baroque opposite.
The fabric is printed on 100% cotton twill...

Haven't finalized the end product yet but when I do you will see it here.

Trash I found the week of November 8 to November 14.
