If you have been a frequent visitor to my site, you know that my primary outlet for my work is via self-published zines and books. I am proud to announce the release of three new publications, and offer them to you for pre-sale today.
As 2020 drew to its conclusion, and the new year kicked off in inauspicious fashion, I hunkered down in my studio, focussing on several projects that were in various stages of completion. Social isolation has proven an ideal scenario for me to wrap up these three new publications, and I thought "why not release them all at once?" Though the subject matter definitely has some commonality, each publication has its own unique look and feel. Each is a limited edition, signed and numbered. I am now taking pre-order for a late March shipment.
Collateral Damage: A big step outside my comfort zone. A continuation of the destructive path started with my "Sacrosanct" series. These photo collages are the result of burning, bleaching, melting, cutting, gluing and taping original photo prints to create unique new pieces of art. The oversized format allows the viewer to take a deep dive into the work, exploring textures and colors that deserve to be seen in person. Web galleries pale in comparison. I'm very proud to share this new body of work in this large format zine.
Twelve Kinds of Silence: A zine that took me over a year to produce. Twelve monthly visits to the bosque along the Rio Grande in New Mexico, with a half-frame film camera. One day a month, one roll of film shot each visit. A study in time and change in a location near and dear to me.
Sacrosanct: Based on an earlier publication from the "Flaunt" series, this new zine is an expanded exploration of the film destruction I started in the middle of 2020. Featuring a larger size, more pages, new writing and lots of new imagery.
For the keen-eyed visitor, you will also notice that my website has been updated to include galleries of all three bodies of new work. Viewing online is obviously not the same experience as holding a real object in your hands, but I hope seeing the various images will whet your appetite to make a purchase. So…take a look and if you are willing and able, click the button below to pre-order your copies today. I am extremely grateful and humbled by your ongoing interest and your support. Ars longa, vita brevis.
