He Wanted to Know.

Found photos (black & white and color), graphite and book clipping (from "Trails West")
6.75" x 9" (approximately 17 x 23 cm)

A note about this piece:
I just got to San Francisco last Thursday and spent Sunday afternoon going to the Alemany Flea Market. I was surprised at the diversity (in terms of the content) of photographs that I was able to find there. I have been used to European (almost immediately post war) scenes and scenarios. There is a definite change in the mood and flavor of the materials here. As a result, these next few works will be using those materials that I got from here.

The Black Poodle Knew.

(approx.) 6" x 9" or about 15 x 22 cm
Found photographs, found paper scrap, black string, and graphite

(This work has sold.)

Early posting this week.

I am going out of town this Thursday (19 July)
and will be posting really early Thursday morning as a result.

Stay tuned.

Veronica Was Always Prettier.

Found photos, photo album paper, graphite, a piece of cake wrapping tissue from a bakery (La Colmena - Antiga Casa L'Abella, Placa de l'Angel, 12, Barcelona - great cakes...), found paper with a religious sermon written on it and yellow archival artist tape.
23.25 x 25.5 cm

Again, this work needs a little explanation:
There is a half an octagon entirely cut out of the paper above the woman's (on the far right) head. Not sure if that is clear from the scan. Also the scanner I used couldn't fit the entire work on the bed of the scanner; so what you see here is a little smaller than the actual piece. There is a little more on the bottom of the image (about 1.5cm more)...including a bit more yellow from the octagon.

He Wanted to Expose Them.

Found photos, graphite, red paint chip, and red string.
20 x 28 cm
(As in last week's work, the (red) string is not attached to the paper, so it does dangle a bit.)
