Heart of a Place at Banfill-Locke

I just completed a set of paintings for Heart of a Place, a two-person show with painter Susan Solomon at Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts in Fridley.

Featured paintings are larger scale pieces painted from plein air studies of Lebanon Hills in Dakota County, MN.  There are also a few from Kawishiwi Falls in Ely, MN.  The space is lovely and the staff, in particular Jeffrey, were super friendly and accessible.

The show runs from May 20 - June 17.

An artist reception will be held on Saturday June 3 from 6 to 8pm. There will be a poetry reading by Katrina Vandenberg and Deborah Keenan during the reception!  Below are some images of work from the show.

Die Blumen Sind Schön

New work! 
Here is a video piece I have been working on, tentatively titled Die Blumen Sind Schön (which was one of the main things my mother learned to say in German when living in Germany). It is constructed from vhs garden footage that my uncle shot in 1994-95.  I reshot it and changed some of the speed, framing, etc.  Still a work in progress, thinking about whether I should add audio or not.
