Other Stuff Cookin'




I mentioned a few posts back that I was working on a new piece involving hearts and dollar signs and transparencies. Above, see some shots of the piece in progress. So far, so good.

Also, have started using some adult ads from various Boston papers for the start of a series that will be called something along the lines of "Figure Drawing," playing on the idea of the human figure and numbers. The combination of prices, models, phone numbers, and mass media seems perfect for this. Is an idea I have had brewing since the poem "White Numbers" and the consideration of Jasper Johns using the number "7" versus Cezanne painting seven apples.

The red piece is one of these in progress. Art Walk is only a few months away!
