2) here's a much briefer explanation of spring planting with only a single set of images based off of a single imaginary plant. imagine what it will look like with tens or hundreds or thousands of different plants, real plants. i can't wait to see this piece.

test

what am i doing? trying to figure out if a picture posted on my blog can be coaxed to show up automatically on my facebook page.



facebook

at vineel's, he's explaining a bit about how people use facebook and what it's for, setting up an rss feed so when i post something here, it shows up on my facebook page, so i don't have to double-post every blog entry.

vineel is awesome. thank you vineel.

it's a tough town

for traffic cones.

yesterday evening:



























this morning:




























and then a few days ago, i got a cone alert from steph, finally witnessed it myself tonight. see it?




























(behind a discarded fridge, in pieces, near the freight elevator at laumont)





























some of my most memorable traffic cone encounters have come from hot tips. thank you steph!

the issue with this one is similar to that day-and-night one last week - which is more pathetic, glare-of-light or ensconced in the shadow world?

drawing

class met at chelsea market again last night, here's what i saw:

statement

everything we know about is changing all the time. paintings fade and crack. trees fall, new growth springs up. technology is evolving at an accelerating pace. and each of us is a constant work in progress, either developing ourselves or lapsing into decay, but never static, never still.

in my work, i use computer processing to montage painted and filmed images which are in a constant state of flux. i create “moving paintings” which give the viewer a unique experience every time they are seen. i avoid video loops in favor of non-linear projection onto prepared surfaces such as painted canvas. my new media installations are simultaneously filmic and painterly.

i aspire to continually explore the expanding possibilities of art. this is both my goal and my method of artmaking. by striving to create something new, perhaps i can help shed light onto who we are becoming.
