Printed by detonating Hodgdon HP-38 Gunpowder into canvas. This gunpowder is found in .38 caliber handgun rounds for the Charter Arms .38 Special revolver used by Mark David Chapman on Monday, December 8, 1980 in New York City. I refer to the process I use to create this work as Gunpowder Gutenberg. I carve a design into a wood "plate" which I pack with gunpowder and place on my custom designed and built Gunpowder Printing Press. I then press a canvas into the packed plate and detonate the gunpowder into the canvas to create the sharp lines and trails of smoke that define the image.

Scott Froschauer is an experimental artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, and he likes it there. His background consists of a structured education in Engineering, Theoretical Linguistics, Science, Art, Computer Programming and Business along with practical experience in Fabrication, Design, Non-ordinary Reality, Experiential Narrative, Venture Capital, Counterfeiting and Breathing. Scott’s work is first and foremost experiential, focusing on pieces that are not easily captured through photography and digital distribution. From the setting of reassuring street signs to the texture of burnt canvas, Scott’s pieces are designed to be experienced in person. Some of his work is an exploration in emotional connectedness some work is about revolution, particularly considering that our culture considers being connected to oneself as a revolutionary act, but his primary focus is on exploring new spaces and techniques for communication.
