Incline Gallery : Quality of Line Show : "Today We Rise" Installation Piece

I had agreed to do this show right before Past From the Blast become unnecessarily hectic due to problems with the curator for Queens Nails and the lack of a performance liscense.  Blah Blah Blah, shit happens, Past was amazing regardless.  Suddenly once it had all died down I realized I had to make an installation asap for my friend Jin down at the Incline Gallery for the show entitled "Quality of Line".  I am actually incredibly satisfied with the results of the installation I made.  I was not able to make the opening due to previous engagements outside of the city, but none the less I was told it went over very well, and upon returning to shoot the piece I was really psyched at the rest of the work there.  Here are some images of installation on the night I finished it and then recently just before I had to deconstruct it.  Looking forward to more with Jin, C3, Wythe and doing something with the folks at Incline again.  I exhibited four paintings that were made for Past From the Blast, but the installation piece is called "Today We Rise", it is an ode to reconstruction of the spirit and a representation of the ability to take pieces of our histories and create a beautiful angelic form out of the chaos.  Based on the strength of the amount of found object installations I have created, I think its time to look into refuse/scrap art grants and residencies.  Wish me luck.

Paintings get a second home.

This shot is literally from minutes after I put the last screw in the wall on St. Patricks day.

Had to put some Brooklyn up at Incline.  Japanther tag fresh from the Past From the Blast Installation.

I really love this photo, the space, the colors, the contrast of the wood patchwork on the stark white wall.  It was a lot of fun making this piece.
