A Show I'm in - Searcher - part 4

The final part of the Searcher at the Laguna Museum is the Segerstrom Gallery.

Installation was tough. The space has low ceilings and four big pillars. The pillars wind up being a great help by breaking up the space and allowing you to fit more work in there that you'd expect. The space wound up with nine pieces.



Diehard

Diehard was first shown at the Miami Art Museum. It's made up of silkscreens of old racing stickers on a canvas camping tarp.

Almost in Love
2010
two turntables, water can speakers, amplifier, mixer, Elvis Presley Almost in Love LP

The turntable on the left drives the one on the right so it plays at one rotation per minute. It creates a deep drone that sounds like the rumble of the ocean or a distant car.

Way back in the day, as a fundraiser, the floor of the gallery was stamped with all sorts of different clubs, galleries and names. This one seemed appropriate.
