Too Many Boxes??



Kim told me my studio was a fire hazard. Too many boxes, cardboard and paint all crammed in a too small a space... so I decided to transport some of the art to the secrete remote location...

More Boxes



While you were out and about, I was inside painting boxes all day. Painting them white.. then painting critters on them.. critters from two angles...



If you turn the boxes you still see a critter because they all match up...



I'm going to add few more dimensions to this as well.. so you will be able to interact with more than just one side and also vertical as well as horizontal...

Different Sides to Art



Here are a few more angles of the Boxes for the Interactive Room.

Each side of the box has a different critter part. With each turn of the box, the audience decides which art will display and which will not.













This is only the beginning of the Boxes....

Boxes!



A few more boxes for the Interactive Room. I've also got a couple of duck boxes and a goose box in the making.



Although there is only one side completed right now, there will be a way to turn the boxes to see the other sides soon!

But Always A Painter




Sat looking at this piece before I added the color. I was thinking to just leave it black and white. Leave the color to the audience. let them take the markers up, scribble, write, whatever.. color in the space.

I couldn't do it.



Always a painter. I love the feel of the brush, how the paint flows... everything about it.

So I did the next best thing. I squared off areas and left space for the audience. How very nice of me.

Story Art



What does a zonkey sculpture, a roll of toilet paper, painted books and paper mache boxes all have in common? I don't know but I'm going to find out.



For the Halle Exhibit in October 2010 I'm creating an interactive room. The Interactive Room will present all the things you would find in a room and allow the visitors to add, take away or change anything. By the end of the show, the Room will be a portrait of everyone that has visited. A Story.




I like the idea of Story Art. However, I wonder if just letting things randomly happen is enough to call the Interactive Room, Story Art. Would it be better if I scripted the story? At least started the story??

Please feel free to comment below and leave your opinion!

Books & Bass

I know it's a little Early since the show isn't until the Fall but...

Some of the items I'm getting ready for the Interactive room exhibit. The Interactive Room will present all the things you would find in a room and allow the visitors to add, take away or change anything. By the end of the show, the Room will be a portrait of everyone that has visited.

Currently, I'm working on painting books and my bass...

The Interactive Room

Even though the show isn't till next Fall, I'm getting ready for the Halle. So what will be the theme? Glad you asked. It is going to be called the Interactive Room.

There is so much you can find out about a person just by going into their house. You can look at the food the eat, the books they read, the music they listen too and you will know so much more about a person than you can learn on Wikipedia.

The Interactive Room will present all the things you would find in a room and allow the visitors to add, take away or change anything. By the end of the show, the Room will be a portrait of everyone that has visited.

So how do we start? By erasing the initial "face" and replacing it with white paint.

The Book Case:



I'm painting the covers white so you can write on them. Make them your books.



Do it Yourself Bass Lessons



Pick up the bass. Pluck.
