Do Not Enter, 2012

Hand-embroidered paper and acetate collage, 12 x 12 inches.

Created for Small Voids, Todd Jannausch‘s latest (and greatest) outdoor-gallery project.

Small Voids is a series of 100 mini ‘galleries’–individually lit plexi-boxes–each containing the work of a different Seattle artist. Each box is  mounted to existing street signs and light poles for one night. The series will travel to a few cities for more one-night shows.

I chose to play with the out-door street sign motif and utilized harsh contrast on the outside to ensure visibility in daytime and night. Of course, it also plays into my ongoing fascination with dualistic imagery.
