greetings-from-new-orleans

Kyle and I are soaking up the sights, sounds and flavors of New Orleans for our birthdays. (Thats right, plural, we try to be efficient around here.)

But I wanted to stop by and remind you that January is coming to its end, which means it’s your last chance to be included in the drawing for this piece of artwork in my Be Nice & Do Good campaign.

So how about showing a little birthday love by donating a few bucks to help the Midwest Music Foundation do their good work. In addition to the karmic points you’d be building, maybe you’ll get a present for my birthday! (bonus points for helping spread the word)

Don’t know what the heck I am talking about? Start here.

Inspired by the dauggereotypes of the early 19th century, for this piece I paired a Polaroid emulsion transfer with copper that I patinated with acids and flame. I worked on this series from 2000 until the end of Polaroid’s production in 2008. Revisiting this piece reminds me how much I appreciate the varied and organic quality of the copper combined with the image. With only half a dozen of these original copper and Polaroid pieces left, and without the means to create more, looking through them again is like visiting old friends.
