here’s the sign I made for our tent – drying in the sun, this morning.
Theo requested a rough and raw one, just the like the one, in spirit !! that I spray painted on the wall . . for his and Kate’s pop-up show: ‘UNDER THE VOLCANO: SIMON CERIGO, DAN ASHER, NANCY SMITH’ / summer 2015.
kind of raw and wild, and in indie distress, lol !!
yes, those are two very real, authentic vintage American folk art . . ‘tire’ planters, that I found dumped on the street a few years back & have cherished ever since, RICHARD PRINCE, roll over . . with envy !!

NANCY SMITH . . detail of the reverse side of my current quilt project.
it’s ‘Dedicated to EMILY DICKINSON’, because y’all know I’ve been obsessed with her – all winter !!
therefore. I’ve tried to keep it very condensed & minimal in decoration, and execution, but still: packing . . . a quiet PUNCH !!
very spiritual. very contemplative.
I’ll “reveal” the front tomorrow, . . or better yet, come see it at the Fair, and I’ll explain all the old school traditional patterns, and resources . . to you in person !!

HIGHLIGHTS of the . . NEW YORK ART BOOK FAIR 2017
STO LEN, holding up one of KELIE BOWMAN’s machine-sewn / book-like . . puzzle / gatherings of actual unique artwork.
you can see his own marbled ‘Tsunaminagashi’ unique print, taken from a toxic water surface . . to the left, and those are other (multiple small edition) prints by Kelie, directly behind him.
KELIE BOWMAN, one of her folding books of unique parcels, of her ‘mural’ artwork.
one-of-kind editions, they were going for about $70 ea. depending on the size – they each varied slightly in size and shape.
kind-of-pocket . . kaleidoscopes. even though the visuals were very different from Sto’s works, and so most importatly was the process . . there was definite a visual rhythmn, song, or dialog going on, between their work, in the greater scheme of things.
brother & sister . . ‘swirls-from-another-mother’.
KELIE BOWMAN, folding down. very kinetic, in a super quiet way. nice.
KELIE BOWMAN, all folded up. small, but expansive, lol.
packed a BIG PUNCH, for a little package. lots of fun to play with. 3D !!!!
STO also had package assortments of his work, also priced in the $70 range / or there abouts depending on size.
it was a super nice way to flip – through some of his images, which were on strong paper / unique prints – not reproduced pages in a book.
there were even some mini !! book-like packages !!
I think these were priced around $35.
so fun. yet, serious. and most def: 3D !!
little . . ‘museums’ of the hand.
small package – big wallop.
both artists’ works – were ultimately about: INFINITY.
and the pattern . . of NON-PATTERN.
endlessly fascinating, and something to wonder about . . forever.

Free (at the fair)
from the PERADAM PRESS RELEASE:
Houses, a limited edition by PETER SUTHERLAND, features a set of photographs from a group of similar houses that Sutherland has been shooting since 2015. The photgraphs are taken on the extensive road travels of the artist in and around the areas where he spent his childhood. Sutherland’s imagery captures the changing visual and cultural landscape of America through it’s most recent constructions – that of quickly made, and rather temporary, structures. Depicting them in their unfinished states, the photographs reveal a sense of disquiet within the fervor of American “development”.
