ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This image is called " Inversion", because the window panels show paint on opposite sides of the plywood. When I saw this opposition, it reminded me of Josef Albers color studies I had studied at UC Berkeley. The location of this walled up bulding is on Treasure Island,SF, an Island that was built for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exhibition. After the war started, the Island became a Naval Station. Now the boarded up walls await transformation into the next iteration of the Island. I put a flowered paper beneath the pink paint, which I left the paint thin so the collage could peek through.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

My studio is in West Oakland, a neighborhood that is transitioning from industrial manufacturing to live-work spaces. I am looking at human spaces in transition. Due to gentrification and redevelopment, many buildings awaiting a makeover are covered in graffiti and multiple layers of paint, becoming like ” found paintings”. These layered wonders suit the process I work with, and also serve as records of these neighborhood changes. I print the photographic image on clear film instead of paper, adding paint, collage or pastel behind the transparent film image. This enhances the dimensionality already inherent in the transparent positive film. This double layer is scanned and printed up to 60 inches on watercolor or photo luster paper.
