Wassaic Artist Residency
In September 2014 I was selected to be part of the Wassaic Project artist in residence program. It is located in Dutchess County in New York, kind of close to Connecticut and a few hours north of Manhattan. It is a super beautiful area, and very rural. It was great to have some extended time to focus on new and different work. The Dentist Project was put on hold for the month and I had an opportunity to meet some new friends and try out some new things in my work. I made a series of what I am calling Earth Boxes, each one occupied by a tower cobbled together with screen printed architectural elements assembled into impossible and unusual structures. Screen printed windows and doors are used in areas to provide a familiarity and allusion to space and form. I had a great time up there and encourage anybody and everybody who is looking to do a residency to check it out. It is very rustic, but certainly a treat for anyone looking for a break from city life.
Wassaic, you were real. See you again during the #wassaicsummerfestival 2015!
New studio! Amidst the donut-mania, I had rented a new work space. It’s a converted old middle school in north Philly, lots of space to spread out here. They set up a hookup for running water for me so I can install a washout/slop sink, which will allow me to set up a printing table and start making more prints! Going to section off about half of the space for wood shop and half for printing and storage. There are heavy duty walls and studs for me to support making this giant wall mounted sculpture that has been in the works for the past several years. Very exciting times. Once the shop is set up it’s fabrication time on The Dentist Project.
