Seeing Red: May 29 – June 23, 2024

Upcoming Solo Show

Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 5/29 – 6/23/24.
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 30, 6 – 8 pm


 
Red is my favorite color. The silver lining to the city installing dedicated bus lanes on my neighborhood bus route (and taking away my beloved just-around-the-corner bus stop… and LOTS of parking spaces)… is that they painted these lanes red. Granted not as vibrant a red as shown in these images, but a pretty good proximity. Most of these pictures are of their process of painting these lanes, and I’ve included a few other ground surfaces that share the color red.

These images are part of my broader ongoing series of things found on the ground.


Most of the subjects in my various “looking down” series are ephemeral in nature… that what I am shooting will likely be gone or changed at any moment.  I enjoy the element of chance in my work; I never know what I will find.  To me few subjects are out of bounds; what might be considered trash to others is for me an opportunity for self-expression and the surprise of unexpected beauty.

Brand New: Feb 1 – 29, 2024

Online Group Show
Treat Gallery, treatgallery.org, 2/1 – 2/29/24.

From the Treat Gallery Website: “Reinvention is no stranger to the contemporary art world. Artists have had to pivot repeatedly, most recently; during the recession, the coronavirus pandemic, and the rise of artificial intelligence. To reinvent is to change (something) so much that it appears to be entirely new, or to take up a very different job or way of life. To re-establish something as new is to begin a process, or make significant changes or improvements to (something.) Words commonly associated with reinvention are: transform. disrupt. redesign. experiment. modify. reclaim. Artists were challenged to create and submit new work following these visual or conceptual guidelines.”

Exhibitors include: Alina Andriushchenko, Allen Morris, Amie Hollmann, Blaine White, Cheryl Safren, Daria Burobina, Farras Abdelnour, Jia Hao, John Romi, Luke Woodford, Marni Mutrux, Matt Perrin, Michael N. Meyer, Randall Steinke, Sabrina Skinner and Susan Bowen.


The below two images from my spills series are included in the show.

Mexican Gate Doors

 

 
These are doors in storefront roll-down gates in Mexico City. I’d never seen such before so picked it for a series. Above shows them in video format; below as a grid of images.
