About The Artwork

The Sky Divided Water Tower 20x20" gallery wrapped canvas, $1,450 20x20" image on German Etching paper with 2.5" border all around, $1,350 15x15" on 17 x 22, edition of 35, $400 The Water Tower series is created from mixed media explorations of the urban streetscape. The Water Tower is an icon of functional design. In its elegant and minimalist form it stands as a beacon of purpose from a time of craftsmanship and architectural integrity. In exploring this theme I am looking at the emotional landscape of our modern cities in which "all that is solid melts into air." "Invisible Structures" is a portrait of the mysterious armature that holds a water tower. In modernizing cities sometimes the tower is removed, but the structure is left behind, an empty chair hosting the birds and passing clouds. This print is not a reproduction of a painting, but a contemporary print in which the print itself is the only form in which the artwork exists. The finished piece is meticulously proofed and printed on German Etching or Moab Entrada, using archival pigment inks rated to last for 100 years or more. The prints come with a certificate of authenticity verifying the edition number and the edition size. These prints are traditionally numbered and signed in light pencil with the number on the left and the signature on the right, just below the image. They are intended to be matted with an approximately 1/2 inch space all around to reveal the signature, but can be cropped to the edge of the image if desired. Prints are sold unframed.

Throughout my work I explore impermanence as it occurs in the urban landscape and in nature. My architectural prints and mixed media pieces focus on the radical reshaping of the built landscape through gentrification and de-industrialization. As we are confronted with change and our relationship to it, I am interested in the question of how much of the past we value and hold onto, and how much we let go to make the future our “now.” My work lives on the edge between nostalgia and accommodation, mediating through the elements of surface and iconic structure to a conversation about history, identity and sense of place. I have been a calligrapher and letter form artist for much of my professional art career, creating well known brandmarks for film, books and packaging. I have created custom typographic identities for Kitty Kelly, Clive Barker, Naomi Judd, and Anne Rice among others, and movie titling for Dreamworks and Walt Disney. As a fine artist I bring my passion for mark making and the architecture of letter forms into the abstract realm. I have a calligrapher's subtle sense of surface and texture, and incorporate calligraphic mark making into many of my pieces. I use photography, digital composition, printmaking, mixed media and collage, shifting as needed to suit my subject matter. I embrace new media and the infinite ways in which the analog and the digital can be shaken, stirred and poured into a new creative form.
