Just last evening I hung a show at the Stage 1 Gallery of the Albany Barn (46-48 N. Swan St., Albany). "Seeing Green: Environmentally Conscious Art" will feature seven pieces of mine, as well as works by four other artists. As you may know, all of my artwork is created from very small pieces of paper cut from celebrity gossip and fashion magazines, transforming the magazines into collages focused on the four natural elements and totem animals, that make a larger statement about how we live in our natural world and how we connect with each other. My art is dually environmentally conscious.
Three of my new pieces are on display; one is a triptych I created when I was away in Austin, TX for three weeks. The piece is called "The Path" and features five vultures, two hawks and a gryphon. Really, it's about purification, a movement away from a stage of innocence, through a self-awakening and on toward spiritual enlightenment. (A picture is below, but unfortunately it came out a bit blurry, so you'll really just have to get on out to the show.)
As I said in my last post, about fifteen of my pieces are currently on display at Mingle (540 Delaware Ave., Albany). Though I do not have new pieces there, likely there are pieces you have not seen, so I recommend getting out there, having drinks/dinner, and checking out some artwork. Support local business and local artists at the same time!
