I got the Jackalope half-built-up and decided I wanted a different braze-on configuration on the chain stay. Bob at Bantam Bicycle Works was a good sport about my persnickety-ness. The frame is modified and on it's way to the powder coater for a touch-up. Since I was already there with my long-tail, Bob asked me to transport another frame to be powder coated. I felt pretty important tooling around with 2 custom frames on the back of my bike.

Unexpected Successes of "Stringed White Dresses - An Installation"
I have been working on a series of paintings with "white dress(es)" motif for quite a while, and recently I extended my effort to include some installation/mixed-media endeavors. My most complete effort in this new field was a work titled "Stringed White Dresses - An Installation", completed in March 2013.
Using some rather square and unyielding origami white dresses, pasted onto twine, who was in turn attached to a wooden frame, I created a subtle contrast between order and disarray, manifested in the disordered formation of the white dresses. To enhance the contrast and drama, I affixed to the frame an ink drawing - mostly in black, with dashes of muted red. When I started to get excited about this project, I recorded part of the creation process on video. Below are the video clip and the finished piece.
Though I was happy with and proud of the resulting work, I didn't pin much hope on this piece, which was really an experiment. Yet, I was curious enough to see other people's reactions to it, so I submitted it for publication. In April, it was included in Pomona Valley Review, Issue 7, published by Cal Poly Pomona.
I was quite encouraged by this acceptance and entered it for the ArtSlant 4th 2013 Showcase competition, in the mixed-media category. Last week, I was informed, and then saw the result online, that it had won the award.
That made it the fourth win in ArtSlant's Showcase competitions. ArtSlant is the #1 Contemporary Art Network with worldwide arts calendars, artitsts, reviews, and online art sales of originals and prints.
I am quite pleased and more than a bit amused by its success. A new direction? Maybe. The "White Dress" series will continue, for sure.

Stringed White Dresses - The Process of a New Installation
Lately, I was inspired and several exciting ideas propelled me to work diligently to complete one installation last Friday. I documented the last stage of the process - painting background, wiring strings to the frames and final assembling, including the paper origami white dresses folded before. Below are several pictures and an edited, composite video of this final dash, all recorded on Friday, 22 March 2013.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is presenting an "Unauthorized SFMOMA Show", which allows people to upload images of artworks to SFMOMA website, and "all works are immediately accepted, each submission automatically constituting an Unauthorized SFMOMA Solo Show on view at SFMOMA via the same website ( sfmoma.show ). Each exhibition starts when a work is submitted and ends when a new work is submitted."
The last piece I posted in that May day was Stringed White Dresses — an Installation, the very first piece in my continuing series of installation or assemblage employing paper as main medium.
Using some rather square and unyielding origami white dresses, pasted onto twine, which was in turn attached to a wooden frame, I created a subtle contrast between order and disarray, manifested in the rather random formation of the white dresses. To enhance the contrast and drama, I affixed to the frame an abstract ink drawing - mostly in black, with dashes of muted red.
The location for my viewing was in the lobby, overlooking Alexander Calder's 1963 installation, Untitled, which also featuring a series of similar objects on wire or strings.

Two of our picture frames currently not in use. I like the no-nonsense approach to them. Only wish they came in pig colour too..
Same lightbox setup as before. DIY strobist approach with two Vivitar 285HVs on either side at 1/16th power.
Comments are much appreciated and if you like what you see, feel free to check out my new blog at hypothetic.net :)
