I created this most recent collage without much thought. But the longer I look at it, the more I see a narrative at work. One of a sexually liberated sixties female, in total ecstasy. Her pose and the vivid blossoming floral arrangement is in stark contrast to the buttoned-up repressed fifties housewife, trapped inside the tv, potted plant atop. Sexual liberation anyone? She’s in bloom.

Here’s another collage I made recently at the Oracle Club. It’s part of a diptych exploring positive and negative space through various black and white textures and amorphous shapes. 

Cool! Two of my designs are featured on these iphone cases produced by Casemate and Society 6. Winning members of the Art Director’s Club Young Guns were asked to submit graphics and these are two I chose.  Click the picture to see them or the other products I’ve created, like laptop cases and prints.

I like to cart these around for those moments when someone asks me what I do… I just flash my phone rather than fumbling for the right words. 

Here’s my collage that I created at Tuesday night’s collage party at the Oracle Club last week. Located in Long Island City, Jenna Gribbon and Julian Tepper’s space functions as a salon and modern workspace for artists and writers.

Each week my former studiomate Caris Reid holds a “class” with changing themes, supplies, and lots of wine. This coming Tuesday will be about “Iconoclasts” while previous themes focused on “spirit animals” and the “Exquisite Corpse” game.
