Feero Molaf Duul (Part 2)

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)

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!

Thought-Organs Hope & Fear

Here are two graphite/digital drawings I did in 2008. They are meant to be displayed on a wall in a ‘T’ formation:

Cosm (Part II)

This is the second part of the Cosm installation. What you see here are digital prints that I cut out and then adhered to both sides of the glass windows separating both galleries. The imagery derives from Microcosm. Microcosm is a repeating pattern and the second part of Cosm shown here is just one tile of that pattern.
