"A Book About Death" has been chronicled in a video showing glimpses of each piece and the show installation at the Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery in New York City in September. Approximately 500 artists sent in 500 post card works to be distributed in the gallery space as pages for the book. Pretty amazing to watch so many pieces and consider the imagery that recurs. My collage shows up at about 5:25, or read about it in an earlier post. Pleased to have my work included in this project.

A piece from the show, 20 x 10 x 1". Click on image to see more detail. Got some comments questioning whether the work was digital (maybe it was the lighting) but it is layered collage, composed while papers are wet, so the fibers do meld together somewhat. All collages are from original found source material (contemporary papers)...no Photoshop, copies, or digital processes employed!
Collage show opening at EDGE Gallery 11.06.09
in Art Shows, Collage Art
It was exciting to have over 300 people stroll through the gallery opening on Friday night— First Friday and also the beginning of Denver Arts Week. Below is a video view of the space early in the evening. Thanks to all who came by and all of you who helped me get this together, given recent life events! If you couldn't make it, the show will be up through November 29th on weekends. Hours are Fridays 7-10 pm, Saturdays and Sundays 1-5 pm. As always, would love your feedback and thoughts. More photos of the opening hoopla are on Flicker. I'll be posting details of the artwork over the next few weeks.
Hanging the show at EDGE Gallery
in Art Shows, Collage Art
It's been nearly a week since we began hanging the "Re-purposed" show and I've neglected to post photos of the process. Above is a photo of me supervising progress as my husband, plus good friend, Ted Crawford, did all the physical work... as I am STILL on crutches due to tibial plateau fracture. Below are the views of the walls of the gallery. More images / details about the opening to follow.
