Look Mom. No Frames!

LUX Solo Show: Around the Bend

I enjoy the opportunity to hang a solo exhibition.  It forces me to edit and make sense of what I am doing.  Depending on the context, I sometimes hang a show without the use of frames. This is somewhat pragmatic as I can hang more images as some of the edited groups number in the 100s at this point. No frames is also an aesthetic choice as it makes the viewing more informal without turning the images into precious objects.  I love the opportunity to create grids around a  theme, idea or narrative.  Here are some examples of solo shows that were hung directly on the wall.

In the fall of 2012, my work was selected to be exhibited in a show at the Lanesboro Art Center called H2O.  I enjoyed looking through my archives to find candidates.  I don’t usually edit groups by subject but it was fun to sort through images and I appreciated the opportunity to have my work exhibited with artists of other mediums.  Thank you Robbie!

Welcome!

Welcome to my online gallery of projects and adventures.  I originally visioned this site as one dedicated to photography, elegantly encompassing only my most serious work as an artist.  This felt constricting.  I am open to inspiration and follow my curiosity in many directions.  Instead, I see this site as documentation of creative flow wherever it is found. I love the feeling of being absorbed in a process with hopes of a beautiful outcome.  Let the explorations begin!
