RSTT (video) from Cohabitants.
Special thanks to Adam Ansorge for all of his help putting this video together and to the Mazure family for lending out their HDTV for an extended period of time!
Rosetta
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Installations
Rosetta is comprised of grey and white vinyl prints adhered to the walls of the gallery and traverse approximately half of the gallery, including the white walls where Transmeanderation Helix is installed and the grey wall where Remnants of Taurus resides.
Rosetta was a very fun and interesting interactive project that took much longer to complete than I had originally planned. Though the overall scope of the project leans itself more toward the conceptual realm, I feel that it works well with the other pieces in the exhibit (as it was intended to) that are more focused on aesthetics than concept.
If you want to find out what Rosetta is all about, please refer to my previous posts:

Remnants of Taurus
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Installations, Prints
Only a few more pieces of artwork from my current exhibition Cohabitants at the William King Museum
left to post!
The piece pictured below is a series of lithographs with a large amount of custom mat cutting (thanks to Betsey-Rose at American Folk Art & Framing for letting me use your robotic mat cutter!). It is titled, Remnants of Taurus (lithography, mat board, and rubylith) and, from what I gather, is the least popular piece I included in the show.
*The video is not part of Remnants of Taurus.

Feero Molaf Duul (Part 3)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Drawings, Installations
This is the final part of the Feero Molaf Duul installation. It is comprised of five individually framed pieces. The three large pieces are titled Altruism w/-1/2 Spin (24″ x 24″ graphite drawings) and the two small pieces are each a Portrait of an Elementary Particle (approx. 10″ x 10″ lenticular prints with rubylith overlay).
Here is a link to a past installation that I created using multiple lenticular prints of Portraits of Elementary Particles. It includes a video that illustrates how a lenticular print is viewed (its not the best video in the world, but hopefully you can get the idea).
Some close-up shots (from two different angles) of the lenticular print Portrait of an Elementary Particle (without rubylith overlay):
Feero Molaf Duul (Part 2)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Installations, Prints
This part of Feero Molaf Duul consists of a long strip of grey paint extending to the ceiling with two white vinyl prints (thanks Logan!) adhered to it. Other than that, I don’t have much to say about this portion of the installation. I am much more interested in hearing what you have to say! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
Feero Molaf Duul (Part 1)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Installations, Prints
Now we move on to the large wall painting/digital print/graphite drawing/lenticular print/vinyl print installation titled Feero Molaf Duul (the entire piece is shown in the first image below). The first part I’m going to talk about is the framed digital print portion of the overall installation, although technically untitled, I will be calling Microscopic Inspection (for reference purposes). As with every piece in the exhibit (besides Rosetta and RSTT) this entire installation is based upon my own observational figure drawings. Most of this piece is based off of my drawings of two close friends, TJ & Jessica (thanks guys!). Microscopic Inspection represents the deepest investigation and the furthest abstraction from my original drawings that appear in this show. It was all hand-drawn in Adobe Illustrator (except for the text, of course) — yes, hand-drawn! — no fancy computer 3-D shortcuts for me!
Interesting side note: After I had printed this piece out, framed it, and hung it, I noticed that one small, black shape was missing — it was just a blank white space! The reason for this is because I ‘hid’ (Illustrator users will know what I’m talking about – Command/3) the shape in question before I printed and didn’t ’show’ it when I actually printed. This is what most people call a ‘happy accident’ because the solution I devised to rectify the situation (creating and applying a vinyl print directly to the digital print) is much stronger and adds another intriguing dimension to the print (the detail of this is shown in the second-to-last image of this post).
The text in the final image below directly correlates to the vinyl word installation Rosetta which will be discussed at length in a future post.
For your viewing pleasure I have included pictures of the actual print and some of the digital file below.
I’m sure there are going to be some questions regarding this piece, so, please, ask away!
