Curator Michael Schwartz invited me to have a solo show at Kafka’s. I worked most of the summer preparing a collection of block prints and a large wallpaper installation.<\/p>\n

The show will be up until November 14th. Kafka’s Coffee And Tea<\/a> is at 2525 Main Street in Vancouver, between Broadway and 10th.<\/p>\n

*Price list of available pieces as of Dec. 10\/16 (PDF link).<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll post more about how I made them, but for now here’s a glimpse of most of the pieces in the show.

Left:\u00a0Sutra of Past Embarrassments<\/em><\/p>\n

Right:\u00a0The Unconscious Ease of Ease<\/em><\/p>\n

\nFrom the show statement:<\/p>\n

These began as gestural strokes and were reinterpreted and assembled in reference to geometric abstraction, the cubist grid and carved panels of religious text (\u523b\u5b57, kokuji<\/em>). The arrangements were carved into treated sheets of polystyrene foam and printed by hand.<\/p>\n

The soft textures and tonal contrast create a push-pull dynamic between foreground and background. Each piece can be experienced as a whole design, by reading methodically along horizontal or vertical lines, or by being lead from one shape to another by visual cues: hierarchies, suggestions of movement, exchange of foreground and background, points of instability and rest.<\/p>\n

The gap between the viewer and the work is active space articulating the complexity of vision, feeling and thought. The consciousness searches for representation or narrative, and their absence opens the potential for an emotional response. The works bridge mind and matter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
