The Belmont (2007)

(2007) Mural Installation, with New Mystics collective

 

An apartment building that had stood for a hundred years, housing countless folks, in its last days was a home to many artists. The New Mystics came together to organize a celebration to release this structure into our memory. Many artists were involved in the creation of this work. Some people worked alone with whole apartments, some joined together and collectively decorated their allotted space. Some lived in their homes until the last moment they could. I chose to paint this hallway. It took me a day and a half painting uninterrupted through the night. We threw a party on the last day of legal habitation.

I have been creating mixed media hangable works of art since 2006. Similarly with stickers, I employ the use of my character The Bald Man as my primary source of visual information. Bending this character through lines, color, abstraction and geometry.

619 banner (2005)

(2005) mural painted on banner

 

I painted this banner while living in a small studio apartment. When I got the 30’ by 8’ vinyl banner home my first obstacle was to unfold this massive canvas and set it up so that I could paint it in my small space. I decided that I was going to navigate this banner into a scroll configuration so I could easily work from one end to the other. Panic set in a bit after I had unfolded the banner in my small space and subsequently filled my home with a slightly tangled heavy banner, after about an hour of pushing and pulling I finally wrangled this piece into the configuration I was aiming for, it was an adventure for sure, there was quite a few moments when i was sure I wasn’t going to get the banner under control though.

I hung this banner off the third floor fire escape of the 619 building for an art walk evening. It was really satisfying to see the whole piece unroll and hang from the building, up to that point I had not seen the whole piece together. 

 

 

A few months later I paired down this banner and cut it into ten sections that I, one by one, turned into stretched paintings on wooden frames. Each paired down piece I added to with adhesive vinyl and/or new colors of acrylic paint.
