Upcoming project with the Center for Expanded Poetics
Thrilled to be invited to publish my text ELECTRIC SPACE GARDENERS with the Center for Expanded Poetics CEP this November in Montreal Canada. I look forward to traveling there and seeing what will unfold with the risograph process! The center studies the connections between scientific and poetic approaches to structure, form, and fabrication, attending in particular to how biology, physics, chemistry, metrology, and materials science might inform the conceptual resources of poetics.
Gif comprised of ink drawings, etc made from translating the ESG text. I look forward to seeing how these will factor into the print component for the document.
Mural & Commission Proposals
Lately a portion of my studio time has included the creation of some speculative proposals for large-scale installations. Here imagined on a building in downtown Los Angeles is a proposition from a series I entitled The Frolics of the Fusionaries. Featured here as a mural the works in this series also lend themselves to the materials of mosaic and glass.
