“Chelsea # 37”, monoprint, 30” x 22”, 2019 - I can’t wait to work with @marginaleditions again. Working on this series of monoprints in New York made me rethink several aspects to my practice like how I organize select color palettes in advance.
Me and @chase.mcbride are going to Japan in the fall but neither of us have the time to plan the actual vacation. Any tips you have for us? Things you wish you saw or the must sees in Tokyo or Kyoto? It will be my first time back since I lived there when I was 3!
It’s a Requirement To Disappear, 42” x 84”, mixed media on canvas - From my solo show with @hashimotocontemporary last year.
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. - Joan Didion, New York Times archives 1976
“Proximity To The Ocean”, mixed media on canvas, 56” x 72”, 2016
Now that my mural is complete @google, we did a 3D scan of the room so that I could continue painting digitally in virtual reality. The result will be a component of the mural that you can only see on a phone in augmented reality. One of the big hurdles for me is learning how to paint in VR. Like most things, it takes time and practice to get used to this new method of working.
Next Sunday I will be speaking on an artist panel at San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art where we will discuss aspects of our studio practice such as residencies, schedules, business and maintaining artistic principles. I hope to see you there! Link in bio for a ticket. @sanjoseica 📸 @mallory.ryan.kimmel
