Black & White & Read all Over

Recently I applied to show some of my artwork, along with four friends, in the Laverne Krause Gallery at the University of Oregon. We came up with a group theme, which was "black, white and read all over," and went from there. It ended up being a really fun experience and pretty much consumed about a week of my life just setting up and taking down the show (painting massive walls black and red, and then painting back over them, takes quite a bit of effort it turns out).

Anywho, a few people had asked to see pictures so I thought I would post a few.



Some of my narrative style photos.
Thyra's laser cut letter sculpture.

Mac's screen printed/painted Spidermans.

My ugly face/text installation.
Setting up on Friday night.


Mac's stop motion animation (this was at the door as you came in). I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture right side up.


Liz's silent film(s).

Lindsay's coffee cups (the lids on or off represented binary code, ones and zeros) It said "awake" in binary.

More of Mac's screen prints.

The seating area for the short films.

A closer look at Mac's Spiderman painting.

Our "black, white and red" spread for the opening. We had white toast with blackberry and rasberry jam, white corn chips with blackbean dip, oreos with milk, and red cupcakes.
