Overload Aesthetics

Studio, Carbondale, 2000 In keeping with the diagonal slant of the previous post i present this snap shot of my studio, circa 2000, at the Glove Factory, Carbondale.

Octopus Enclosure

May 26, 2009

Untitled (octupus enclosure), pen on paper, 1996 Another drawing from my sketchbook. With this piece i started thinking more about the structures as enclosing or strangling the houses / dwellings. I like the lone chimney and the wisp of smoke in the center of the composition. i also enjoy the escher-eqse convoluted collapsing of space.
