Republic
A group of prints and collage is based on recent graphics for Rock & Republic and Banana Republic. Beginning with scale renderings of their magazine pages, these graphics are subject to a series of edits, enlargements, presentations and abstractions, ending with their display as stacked photocopied enlargements. Their role beyond take away multiples is to connect two gallery spaces and two seemingly disparate groups of work.

The second space is an installation influenced by the image of Michael Collins, which is subjected to marketing by the Sidney Frank Importing Company. A black and white photograph represents an empty miniature bottle of Michael Collins Irish Whiskey while a 35 mm slide show displays six macro enlargements of the photograph, projecting an abstract film grain into the space. Blank slides between each image illuminate the work.

11x8.5 photocopies, 80 x 35mm transparencies, slide projector, sawhorse, chairs, aluminum sawhorse table, ink drawings, lithographs, woodcuts and collage, 2008.

Installed at Rural Research Laboratories, the Arnot Museum, Elmira. NY.
