Hicks Art Center Exhibition – August 26th, 2009
Jul 28th
Just got back from the Hicks Art Center Gallery after dropping off a few pieces for Betsy and my piece titled Fifty-Two Collages in 52 Weeks. I have moved this 4 foot by 9 foot piece several times and it’s always been an effort – mainly because a cargo van from uHaul is just barely large enough, and still you have to angle and wedge the piece to get the doors closed. This time I took the piece apart. It’s always been a three-sectioned work held together by a heavy-duty metal frame. The three sections fit fine in the back seat (floorboard, actually) of a rented Honda CR-V (provided by Zipcar). The two longest frame pieces stuck out of the passenger window about a foot and a half. Not bad. All in all, it was a pleasant drive and it all went back together pretty quickly.
The exhibition is titled "transFormations," and it features works made from found and recycled objects. A number of the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers are in the show.

“Mona2″ (Squared) Wins 3rd Place Award…
Jul 12th
My piece in “The Legacy of Leonardo” exhibition currently at the Da Vinci Art Alliance won the 3rd Place award yesterday. You can see the work ( a 3-D digital collage featuring the famous smiling face, albeit somewhat altered. In fact, it’s square. The eyes, nose, and mouth are also square and raised off the surface of the piece. “Mona2 “(Squared) was originally created for an exhibition of small square works.
