small clip

For some reason, I am having trouble uploading video. I made a very, very short clip of my newest project entitle "Childhood Reveries." Maybe I should change that to childish reveries. Don't know. In this piece, Little Betty Jane will be trying on all the fantasy cards that were in my last exhibition. She also does cartwheels, dances, and ....

This link should work. If it doesn't - let me know.

New Work - Blue Teacups

After my show in March, I guess I was at a loose ends. I find I am interested in tea cups. This is a recurring interest. I think they speak to the feminine and the domestic. These are issues I think about a lot in my work.

writ small - installation shots

Here you can see the performance installation on the right and the animation installation to the left. There are collages all around. The next two shots are from around the video screen.






These are the illuminated manuscripts. Even the writing is made from cut paper.

And, again, the performance area installation. Images from the performance are in the post just before this one. It should be below this post.

Tea & Cake with Betty Jane Performance

As a part of my current exhibition "writ small" at Soho20 Chelsea Gallery in New York city, I am having performances on Saturdays in March. Here are some photos of the first one - it was yesterday. In them, I dress as Betty Jane and serve tea and cake (made by Betty Jane.) And, I tell stories about my life and the work.

I appreciate all the support from attending friends during yesterday's performance. This was my first performance ever. I was very nervous and unsure of myself. But, then again, so is Betty Jane.

Tomorrow's Artist Reception

Tomorrow I will be at the University Gallery - room 11 of University Hall at Fairleigh Dickinson University's Metropolitan Campus. There are two receptions:
2:30-4:30 pm - for students
5-7 pm for friends and family

Feel free to attend either one if you are in the area.
