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

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.

I was asked to create a piece along the lines of Montana, featuring a prominent C that the band could use in posters and other promotional work.
