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.

Connotation no. 28 (Black), 2012

Hand-embroidered paper collage, 12 x 12 inches.

Recently a friend asked if I had any work with black in it.

Aside from a few postcards with a bit of black and the moon series (which really has more to do with white), I was surprised to find a lack of the dark on the whole. I took this as a challenge to make a piece with black in mind.
