Throwback Thursday. Cover of my earliest known sketchbook found in the back of the ‘art’ closet. That's me on the right with smug little Pogo in his prison uniform in front of me.

3 recent works on paper, each titled Tree/House (1, 2 or 3). Not sure what they are just yet (good)...maybe doors to other places. tbd. Archival prints, paint, ink, paper.

2 updates from an older project—a collab between myself & Mary Bergs that happened a year or so ago. Shown here: MB presented the image on the right and I responded on the left. You can see the whole project on my site.

Here's a photo shot by Mary Bergs from of our collaboration that's now up at This, a project space in Winona MN. This is a new configuration of some of the pieces we made together a year or so ago. The exhibit, Family & Friends, continues through June 7.

Working out some stuff in my sketchbook. Perhaps an oddball combo/permution of recent themes: tree, frame, buildings. To be continued...

Something older which, in hindsight, fits perfectly with current work that explores souvenirs as a token of memory. These were from my dad's house (although not with the flat yellow "pictures") so they have particular resonance. Hall Souvenirs, 2023.

Two small samples in some vintage photo mats as a small step to getting back to work. I’ve been struggling with debilitating political angst…maybe you have been, too.
I felt better after calling my senators and getting out my glue stick.

[from a recent IG post] Small studies made with the conceptual/poetic filter “Remembering Trees.” It's a little beautiful but mostly apocalyptic…made with the yellow smoke-filled skies of last summer in mind.

[from a recent IG post] Another sample “embracing the pictorial.” Studio practice, aka playing.

[From a recent IG post] Studio practice. Embracing the pictorial. Inspired by a vintage vernacular picture frame.
Work in progress.

[sound on] Trying to find some balance in the day-to-day but not quite succeeding. Playing around with animation software as a distraction.

I love the idea of a souvenir as a concrete token of memory. 8 framed photographs of letters made from twigs and copper wire. Part of an ongoing exploration of "remembering trees."
