I'm reposting these pictures because I couldn't open/enlarge them in the other post.

SOLO SHOW @CPP: back half
The rear of the studio was made of walls made by stacking up our shop tables and throwing up masonite exhibition walls. I wheat-pasted a nice green triangle pattern on the middle wall which displayed "Tribe of Eve" & "Tribe of Adam." These pieces were made from colorful woodcut backgrounds (on paper) with screenprinted figure drawings on the inside of the glass that floats off the paper background.
Walking around the corner led you through a display of past prints and into an etching project I'm calling "Diana! Diana!" that was also shown as a xeroxed-zine version. Just below another display of prints, I had a table for a book display of a few wooden books, Espresso-book-machine-made books (and coloring utensils for adding to the community-coloring-books), and my recently finished fabric flip book "Crossing the Snowy Plain": a book made from a cover of gessoe'd canvas and text pages from a stack of white washclothes I got at the NPS store. A figure is represented on each page and he has quite the adventure out there crossing the snowy plain...
Then the back wall: A new spiral installation of The Crystalline Garden featuring the lino block it was carved from in the dead center. My laptop played the digital animation version and the flip-book for display right next to the wall installation.
I also put out some old designs I'd done for t-shirts for our faithful fans that keep bringing in shirts fresh for printing. The show was of course helped by my wonderfully talented brother who provided the veggie kabobs and hummus, Mark, Brad, Angela and company on the music filling for Davey (get well!), and all who made it out (especially all you out-of-towners). Thanks!
SOLO SHOW: front of room
I just had my solo show at the Copper Palate Press on Friday. For all who were able to come, thanks for the support. If you couldn't make it, this post is for you.
I didn't have a camera with me for the night of the show, so hopefully if someone has any pictures of the event as it was happening they can post them on facebook or something... I came back the next day to snap these photos which will roughly walk you through the setup of the show.
Starting at the front wall I had three pictures of assemblages beneath blue skies and a birds-in -flight painting on the other side. My most recent work for the show was the hanging catfish made from relief prints on fabric. I was very excited how he turned out.
Then, the epic "Above The Flood Plain" on the main wall: I displayed both the original small drawing version and the translated fabric mural version. The original was drawn around 2007 and the fabric piece was started then, but interrupted when I returned to school. Last summer I started work on it again and had I'm happy I've pieced it together in time for this exhibition. This is by far the largest work I've ever made at roughly 20'x16'.

View The Crystalline Garden on vimeo.
These prints will be displayed Jan. 21 at the Copper Palate Press studio as part of my show.
Upcoming Solo Show at CPP
I'm now counting down the days until my solo show at CPP Jan. 21. I'll be featuring some new textile pieces installed on the walls and from the ceiling... some of my older prints, books, etc. will also be displayed (and for sale...).
Here's a peek at some of what you can see:
Above the FloodPlain: (paper version) This will be presented also in a huge fabric version that will take over most of the exhibition wall at the Copper Palate.
detail from Tribe of Adam: relief on paper behind screenprint on glass.
And much more!
