Projections 7 is the second of two pieces I’ll be showing in the Frontrunner pop-up show in Chelsea this month. This piece is designed to respond to changing light conditions throughout the day, from diffuse illumination (shown here)…

to direct sunlight, as shown here.

Projections 7 is one of two wall pieces I’ll be showing in New York this month. Like Projections 6, this piece employs translucent acrylic panels that cast colored shadows to act as extensions of the artwork. The shadows range from subtle (as shown here in defused light)…

to dramatic (as shown here in direct light).

I’m excited to participate in Frontrunner Collective’s pop-up exhibition, An Annual Affair, which runs concurrent to Frieze New York. Curated by Edward Symes (who interviewed me for the magazine in 2013), the show runs from May 6-8 at 526 West 26th Street, 10th floor, with an opening reception on May 6 from 5-8 PM.

I’m happy to be part of Look! Book Arts, an exhibition that runs from April 14 through May 22 at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts. The show, curated by C.K.Itamura, looks at diverse forms of making books by hand and explores contemporary use of traditional and alternative materials and methods used by artists to create artists’ books, altered books, zines, and broadsides.
