feelin it...

...i learned about the work of Steve Seeley through Punch Gallery's show Grätüitöüs Umläüt. the religious iconography and animals got me right away. i especially like the irregular paper shapes and the use of old book paper and book covers. see for yourself here....

i like seeing the grid of colors used on the left.

(pushing up my metaphorical glasses) like painting "metadata".

can you read it? it says, "to all the women i have ever loved, thank you"

one of my favorite things is the inside of old soft bound books.

i love the aged color of and vignetting that naturally happens...

maggots....

kicking your ass and splitting your spandex...

the other night we found out that jeremy got into a show, Staged: The Constructed Photograph, at Gallery RFD  and not only that, but he also got best in show for the image Eastern Skies! So exciting! This show is perfect for his working process of collecting images both found and original and creating from all these different sources these imagined landscapes... 

Eastern Skies

the  works are printed large and look like charcoal drawings in person- really beautiful...

Störnuhallar

this is jeremy's month he also got into a show with perhaps the best title ever, Grätüitöüs Umläüt at Punch Gallery in Seattle. the show is a nod to heavy metal music and culture. Music (and magic) play a huge role in jeremy's work. I love this line from the press release for the show, "Prepare to have your ass kicked and your spandex split, because we're turning the knob to eleven on this one." YES!
