Just sent these and some other prints of to Rahway for a show at the Arts Guild of New Jersey, called Road Trip: My America. The show will be up from February 12- March 12. Looks like there is going to be some rad work. Keep an eye out, I’ll be making another east coast appearance at a show later this year with Rose Nestler at Cuchifritos Gallery in New York City.
Been working long and hard on this one… Finally I’m proud to announce that the Flexions Record Golden Fjord will be availble on Cairo Records August 2, 2011.
Check out the video from the upcoming release:
We built a Loom in the woods – video documentation to come.
Dropped in on Steve Auman’s taxidermy shop in Enumclaw, WA.
The Cold Jungle: a compilation record I have been working on producing with my friends at Cairo is finally available. The record features ten Seattle bands who have all been regular performers at the venue over the past few years of hosting shows. Records are available at Cairo in Seattle, where you can also pick up copies of my mixtape series There’s No God of Tapes.
Compilation includes tracks from: Wet Paint DMM, Flexions, Love Tan, M. Women, Mongrel Blood, Witch Gardens, U.S.F., Stephanie, Secret Colors, and Big Spider’s Back.
Deterred by hail the size of nickels, I had to turn back from my pilgrimage to the Spiral Jetty. Instead I head for the Bonneville Salt flats, though the storm keeps me from exploring them fully. I decide to stay in Wendover on the Utah/Nevada state line. The Utah side of Wendover doesn’t have much beyond an abandoned and decrepit airport (though several of the buildings are home to the Center for Land Use Interpretations residency facility).
West Wendover – just over the Nevada state line – primarily consists of casinos gradually getting seedier as you drive west out of town. The Montego Bay really fulfills all expectations of ostentatious neon with it’s interior decor.
Just south of Moab, Utah Albert and Gladys Christansen blasted their home in the base of a sandstone rock formation. Now a roadside tourist attraction in the most classic sense, the 12 minute tour through the house allows visitors to view the couples handiwork, including devotional paintings, coke-bottle lapidary scam-gems and some truly tragic taxidermy.
I was fortunate enough to stay at Arcosanti – The experimental urban design and architecture laboratory that is a functioning community. Based on the arcological concepts of Paolo Soleri, the site has been continually under construction since the 1970′s.
After several solo days in the desert. I met up with my friends Rachelle & Carrie in La Bajada, NM. The next day we went down to camp in the Gila Wilderness. Nearby in lush canyon we visited some ancient cliff dwellings.
