This is a recent study for my ongoing Long View Project. The imagery alludes to science and waste management at Antarctica’s McMurdo Station, described by the iconic pipe and sphere configurations common throughout town.

The piece was created in cut paper and graphite on paper mounted on a 5″ x 5″ x 1.5″ wood panel.

It will be on view and available at Southern Exposure’s Annual Fundraiser and Art Auction this Saturday evening, June 6 at Electric Works, San Francisco. See you there!

On Saturday Leslie Shows offered a well-attended printmaking demonstration at the
ON YOUR MARK fundraiser benefiting the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery‘s programming fund. It was an opportunity to see one of my favorite local artists at work
while supporting the SF arts community.

I’ve been a fan of Leslie’s since catching her stunning CCA MFA show in ’06, followed by
her SFMOMA SECA award, last year’s Bay Area Now exhibition and ongoing Jack Hanley Gallery representation.

For this project, Leslie layered digitally-printed collage elements with hand-inked plates run through an etching press to create a characteristically textured, energetic composition. The prints are issued in a limited edition of 20 copies and made available through SFAC Gallery and Electric Works where the event took place.
