I’ve recently moved back to NY from Portland. I finally have my computer functioning adequately enough to start rolling out the pictures from the end of August to now.
I have a large print up at the Portland Art Center as part of their Catacombs show. The show was about depicting ghosts and dreams of Chinatown. I’m not sure if I did this concept justice, but I was excited to make this portrait of two friends who were heavily on my mind last summer. The print was made at Laumont Studios in NY and I was stunned at what a good job my printer, Keith Thomas, did.
The show ends Tuesday, but if you miss it, I’ll be back in March with a much bigger exhibition at Newspace.
Speaking of ‘ghosts and dreams’, I got a cell phone photo from my dad today of the vacant lot, where our house used to be in New Orleans. Equally upsetting was the news that the house my dad grew up in in Old Meterie was also being razed due to flood damage. This house had changed so infinitesimally during my life, that it’s shocking to think it was quickly destroyed and has been rotting away for the last year.
