"Spaces" is a series of portraits of the places where artists make their work, whether it is a space in their home or garage, or a studio in a larger collective. I hope this work will honor the places where art is created and perhaps stimulate thoughts about how we might institute safeguards that will sustain the arts in good and bad economic times, not only for large art institutions but also for artists “on the ground” who need something as basic as a place to do their work.

Spaces Collaborative Project (click here to watch video)
As part of my Artist Residency at the ICB Studios in Sausalito, CA I created this Exquisite Corpse inspired Collaborative Project. This piece was a way of representing a community of artists, a source of support in what is typically a very solitary endeavor. Participants were first recorded into the space as silhouettes and then using this framework we began to elaborate on that structure, first with value and then color. I devised some simple rules that required movement by each artist so that each of us would be forced to work on areas that were started by another. Along the way we found inspiration in what others had created and tried to find a balance between what might be left alone and what might be altered in the hope of improving. This was a conversation and a negotiation between more than 15 people, with a variety of voices and attitudes. Thanks to all that participated!
