news : group show in australia
Untitled, 2006. Gesso and acrylic on unstretched linen, 13.5 x 11 inches (34 x 28 cm)
This piece is soon en route to Sydney, Australia as part of the group exhibition Escape from New York at Sydney Non-Objective. The exhibition is organized by Minus Space, and opens August 3. Each of the artists in the show will be represented by a recent work, and also by an open "letter" to the audience in Sydney. I believe Minus Space will catalogue the entire project on line soon. I'll post the that which made up my "letter" after the show is actually open.
Meanwhile, this unstretched linen piece is the only one that survives from a group I started in 2006 during my residency at St. Mary's College of Maryland. It's kind of a seed idea. I think about it a lot. See the group in progress here, here, and here. Why this one works for me and the others do not...well, that's the question that I've been mulling over for nearly a year and a half now!
