I recall reading someone’s speculation on the orgin of arches in architecture. They seemed to think it arouse in a Kubrckian manner from a confrontation with death. Specifically, they thought it grew from men seeing ribs and jaw bones on the battlefield. While I suppose there is a certain poetic lovliness to this idea, it occurred to me that the same discovery could be more easily traced back to coming upon a fallen tree as much as a fallen man. Something tells me lean tos predate stone arches. I was thinking about arches because of the Geodesic dome IN UU’s collage… and also the arch of the girl’s back as she put her ass in the air. The other thing that sort of fell into my head was how Buckminster Fuller always went back to stacking as the origin of all his work. As if perhaps it all really came from an engineering question that came up when trying to move stacks of cans, or more likely ammunition in the most efficient manner. I thought a nice monument to him would be to stack a pile of geodisc domes under the arch of a tree…. but in real life it should be huge and maybe bucky balls not domes…. or microscopic nanocarbon would be fun too: visible only by scanning elctron microscope installed in the gallery.

Some paintings I photographed at a PopUp show I had at 17Frost a couple months back. Only getting around to looking at them now. The one above is spray paint on a Do Not Enter sign and those below are expanding polyurethane foam over wire with spraypaint and they are wearable masks made for CAGE, a film we are still editing.

This one is quite large painted on an old canvas that my father never finished…or even started and we used to use it as a screen to project slides and home movies. It may change down the line, but right now I like the rawness of it.
