art: photo collage

Even better than the Silverbow, Rick and I have secured the Canvas for exhibition in October of this year! Very exciting! Already I have several sketches of scenes for our around the clock comic adventure and Rick has already started writing. I am thinking that a fun way to unite the disparate sections of the gallery space would be to use red tape from floor to ceiling that divides the space into 24 hour segments. This would also help move the viewer around the room with less confusion. I also envision the comic “strip” segments as individually and uniquely framed and maybe 4 or 5 of them to go with each hour-segment. This would leave a lot of white wall space above and below the pictures... maybe the words to the comic could be giant-lettered and take up several feet of wall space, as seen in large exhibits (ex. the bodies). Any thoughts?

In other news, and as briefly mentioned in my previous post, I have been working on more art photo album pages as a way to reduce the copious piles of photographs, personal mementos, and magazine clippings that I can’t bring myself to throw away. As might be expected, the theme has revolved around Danel and the annihilation of our life together. I like to think the process is therapeutic (but I can also recognize that sometimes its hard to see the full picture when your so close up to and in the middle of things). The pictures in this post are just a sampling; I realize some are largely egocentric and perhaps angry also, but I hope you can enjoy nonetheless.
