Seventeen Year Souvenir, 3D mixed media assemblage. Here’s one I’ve been working on all summer. It’s different from what I’ve done lately, but it takes me back to high school, where I was fortunate to have some great, progressive-minded art teachers, who encouraged working with all manner of found objects. Inspired by Joseph Cornell, and made in response to a call for art for a cicada-themed show at @ruby.projects, I got to work on this right away. While the cicada show never materialized, Travis, who runs Ruby was kind enough to accept the piece for display at one of his gallery spaces. I guess I never got over these critters, whose brief visitation seemed like a lifetime ago, their presence akin to the hope we were all feeling at the start of the summer. Sadly, that has changed in a very short amount of time for reasons that I’ll refrain from ranting about here. That said, I had no real plan in mind, when setting out to make this piece. The old drawer was purchased at a local thrift store, the Ball jar and old frame was sitting around in my studio, and the base was a thing that said You Rule, from the cheap stuff section of Target. I wanted to use cicada wings in some way in the work, but pulling them off of their carcasses wasn’t very appealing. On an evening walk, while looking for twigs and acorns and such, I found a ton of lone wings just laying around at the edge of the trail. I’m assuming the ants ate the bodies and left the wings. Whatever the case, I was in luck! The drawing is a giclee print of an older drawing I made, which I drew over some more, adding some leaves and crawling and flying cicadas. I painted the interior of the drawer white, varnished the drawing, and stuck things on with E6000 glue. Finally, @krisloyaart helped me out immensely by setting up and printing out a stickable QR code and sound wave of a recording she made of the cicadas. That part was the icing on the cake, for this piece! #art #artwork #assemblageart #cicadas #broodx #insects #natureart #sculpture #artwork #repurposedart #artistoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #drawing #dmvartist #loudouncountyartist #loudounart #showyourwork

How do I do this??
Minute amounts of water, windfall samples - organic and mineral - are collected from the very landscape depicted within each picture - and chemically bonded with the film over 9 to 24 months. The result: a developed film and unedited, printed images that are somewhere between a classic photograph and a totally abstract image, depicting the interaction between fundamental chemical elements present at each place & time, representing a more visceral and literal experience of being present in landscapes in a constant state of natural or unnatural flux.
