Meticulous, as always.

Hand cut & scored & glued = time consuming!
This will probably be Untitled Seven.

Field Trip: The Russian Avant-Garde

Finally got around to seeing the Chagall & The Russian Avant-Garde exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It wasn't spectacular, but there were a few highlights in the show, making it a (mostly) worthwhile visit...

One of my most favourite artists is El Lissitzky, so I was quite excited to see this piece, up close and in real life!


I must confess, seeing it resulted in a lot of smiling (inside and out) and wide-eyed gawking!

And Rodchenko, love love love his work as well:



There was also a separate and smaller exhibit being shown entitled Constructing Utopia: Books and Posters from Revolutionary Russia (1910-1940). This collection definitely contained more of the kind of work I was interested in seeing:

etsy.

several months back, i finally put together an etsy shop! along with my newest chapbook, i'm selling a bunch of older stuff that i made during my days at trip print press. they've just been sitting around in storage for the last couple of years, which is no good! also, i'm working on a bunch of smaller collage pieces that i intend to put up in the shop in the next little while :)

old work, published.

a poster i worked on several years ago has been published in a book entitled Dirty Fingernails. when i first saw the book, standing alone in the bookstore, a silly little grin formed on my face, possibly accompanied by a slight giggle. pretty exciting to see one's name and work in print, it's true.
