Over the past several years I’ve been riding trains and photographing the landscape. This summer I fulfilled a dream by traveling across the country creating photographs and videos.  Passenger, the first exhibition of the project, is on display at ChromaProjects Art Laboratory in Charlottesville.  It features eleven new images plus a video from my journey.  I will give an artist talk October 17 at 7 p.m. in the Dickinson Theater at Piedmont Virginia Community College.

 My exhibition space at Chroma- what used to be the cooler in the old florist’s shop- is wonderful. Because it’s long and narrow, even a little crowded, it reminds me of the trains that inspired my work. Deborah McLeod is the gallery owner and her husband Rob assists in the operation of the space.  The exhibition is up until October 27.

Page Bond Gallery June 2010

It was a great pleasure to exhibit at the Page Bond Gallery in Richmond, Virginia, June 2010.

Tracking People closes February 2, 2011

Tracking People, part of my TRAINSCAPES project, is on display until February 2, 2011 at the Dickinson Building on the grounds of Piedmont Virginia Community College.

I brought my parents just before the doors closed for the holidays.  The galleries are open again, Dickinson is the last building on College Drive.

 

Show Prep

Opening June 4, 2010 is a two person exhibition Roads and Rails at the Page Bond Gallery in Richmond.  I am the rails part of this exhibition.

In the studio we have been testing paper types, color and contrast.  Outside our grass is growing higher and higher.

Let There be Light

Last year John and I created Floating Lanterns for the Let There be Light exhibit at PVCC.  Although the process of collaborating ideas and creating the final product was challenging we were happy at the end.  This year we struggle once again.   

To collaborate you must give up the sense of oneself and listen to each other's idea with an open mind.  You have to be supportive not competitive.  You have to be willing to try a new idea and maybe fail.  

Maybe today we will succeed. 

Framed Photos on view at Piedmont Community College

These three images will be on display at in the PVCC Faculty Show Jan 30- Mar 14. They are the first to be printed and framed from my recent body of work combining my fascination of abandon structures, motion, time, and connective systems.
