Phoenix --- Arrows through hope- back home - - working and living in the ghosttown of my childhood - -  my workspace at the Icehouse & applying to Cooper Union 2014

A view into an alleyway adjacent to a building I have always wanted to explore. I think the metal spikes would make great foundations for human nests.

My studio at the icehouse - - when the icehouse was used for evidence storage, this room contained the reporter Don Bolles car that was blown up by the mob. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Bolles

                                         

                                        

 Indian self mortification device I am studying for an homage to Richard Sera.

First model of the device. I am working on a 2nd model, and drawings to figure out the shape the needles will create when they enter the flesh.

 

Grid city, a product of my environment.

Running the inkpad from top to bottom over loosely hung clothe.

At this time I am photographing items from my portfolio. Most of them are unfinished. Cacti and a wind-ripped paper from a rain and ink experiment.
