Prints
I did printmaking both at my undergraduate at the AKI and at the masters program at OSU. After moving to Florida, I did not have a press available and I started to experiment with simple DIY techniques. In 2013 I started to teach art appreciation at FSW in Fort Myers, and one of the things I did with students was to produce stencils. They would make an edition of ten, that they then trade with other students and one with me. I made an edition as large as the number of students in the class. They would each get one, and I get one of theirs. I now have about 300 of their prints.
Untitled, 10.5"x36", etch on paper, ed. 6, 1995.
Presidents of the United States, 12"x36", etch on paper, ed. 10, 1995.
M.I.A., stencil print on paper, 45/53, 6.5" x 6", 2013.
Patricia Gonzalez, 17" x 14", monotype, 2014.
Alvin Lucier (signed by Alvin Lucier) 15 x 7.5 inches, stencil, 2017.
The Trobraianders of Papua New Guinea, cover of zine, 8.5x5.5", stencilprint, 2022. The zine was published only in an edition of five. Each one with a unique print in a different color.
Sun Ra (from Top 100 2020), 14"x11", stencil on paper, 2021, artist proof, edition 5.
Jane Wiedlin, 14 x 11 inches, stencil print on paper, ed. 52, 2020. After watching a fantastic concert of Go Go's classics at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery earlier this year I chose Jane Wiedlin as subject to trading prints with students. Jane is being sent one too and so is the artist Beatriz Monteavaro who sat in on drums. I met them both and got a high five from Jane Wiedlin.
Cardi B (Top 100 2018), 8 x 8 inches, stencil on paper, ed. 43, 2018. Another round of teaching art appreciation, another round of stencils to trade with students. I choose popular musicians to trade with them and for this session I picked Cardi B. I like to double the stencil assignment with a top 100 entry and so I set out to listen to a bunch of her songs to nominate one for this year's list.
