Stories Off the Page: Mobile Installations


In art news, no doubt because I didn’t take a photo of it at the gallery, this piece, Altared Consciousness I, sold during the Journey to Emancipation show last month. As my sister wisely counseled, it’s always the ones you have a place picked out at home for that never come back. So I’m off to make another. These are my greatest departure from fiction though there’s still an intent to tell a story. The image is real. It’s Isaac and Rosa, two emancipated slave children in New Orleans. This will probably be a new series of mobile installations.

At the Rain and Thunder show opening tomorrow, I take a more literal approach to mobility. Picture to come.
