June 12, 2009
It’s comedy friday again, time for some really really bad high school pieces from around 1991, that at the time i thought were really cool and “right on” but now i gotta say it’s pretty rough stuff, both conceptually and technically, enjoy….

Deitcher meets Foucault uptown

In an effort to be as thorough as possible in the documenting of my art practice / experience, i’m going to upload my writings, mostly student work, from both undergraduate and graduate courses.

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. One of my abiding interests are systems and the information they require to exist andthe data the produce. Part of this fascination includes being overwhelmed by information, [...]

Sketchbook page, lino cut on photocopy, 1996 Wow. totaly cubist (ha ha ha, pun intended). isometric-ish on the top face of the cube. in one point perspective on the bottom face, 2 spatial realities braque would be proud, and then that’s super imposed on a photocopy of a terraced houses in Leeds from above. it’s [...]

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.
