Half way thru uploading some new drawings to flickr produced this last month. I’m really happy with the direction the work is taking. it’s certainly giving me some pause as i circle around almost fifteen years in terms of interest and output, back to the humble cube and all the variants and possibilities it offers. Look out for new installations, animations, sculpture, video and drawings in the months to come.

The focus of these drawings has been two fold (ha! pun). first to make some schematics for custom sections akin to tetris blocks for new sculpture i’m planning, cut first on laser cutter and then assembled spore like in the studio and painted. second to continue to try and solve the problem of making a cube flatten completely to a square a conundrum i;d like to realize in both sculpture and time based medium > which gave rise to a good number of drawings riffing off tetris like patterning and then finally some drawings taking the square as building block rather than the cube per se and of course comnig bakc around to make patterns based on the square too.

stay tuned. all will be revealed!

As u can see i kinda botched the unfolding portion here. Trying to figure it all out by hand not so easy. Maya makes it easy….. soon …. soon…. but i thought i’d post this anyway. hope to see everyone out and about tonight…. i’m starting downtown at the SAIC faculty show, then River North then West Loop, then perhaps Pilsen or a party not sure yet.

ciao!
