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.

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”.

from the press release:
‘BAD WATER PLACE’ . . documents the site-specific work of artist STO LEN.
“Highlighting the relationship between aesthetic beauty and UGLY truth, Sto investigates urban sprawl and the illegal dumping of toxic waste in natural habitats through a series of prints pulled from the actual surface waters, in this book he focuses on NEWTON CREEK, one of the most polluted bodies of water in the U.S.
Working en plein air from a rowboat, Sto uses an original process he calls ‘Tsunaminagashi’- a mix of traditional suminagashi and his own techniques – to print directly off of the water. These works are arresting, psychedelic experiments in marbleized texture and design that reveal a dark, tactile truth of urban pollution in our city’s water.
It is within this context that Sto Len exposes the physical consequences of this abused urban landscape through land art, performance & printmaking as a site of discourse on environmentalism and art activism.”
‘BAD WATER PLACE’ features photography . . by TRACIE WILLIAMS, R. NICHOLAS KUSZYK, and WALTER WLODARCZYK.
Full Color, 80 pages, 8.5 x 5.5 in., signed & numbered first edition of 100, 2017

from the PRESS RELEASE:
“Nothing in the world is softer or weaker than water
Yet nothing is better at overcoming the hard and the strong”
~Lao Tzu
‘STO LEN has been researching water as a medium, language, tool and collaborator for the past 5 years. His meditative style of printmaking captures a moment in time in nature with a mono print. Layers of oil paint, vegetable oils, spray paint, dirt and various debris is built up on the water surface in large kiddie pools, wooden trays and buckets for hours and sometimes days while preparing a print. Outdoor pools collect raindrops and leaves while patterns are allowed time to develop on their own.
Renouncing the fussiness historically associated with paper marbling, Sto’s work instead celebrates chaos by finding the rhythm and pattern within water’s movement. For This exhibition Sto will showcase new experiments on wood and found objects that begin to take on sculptural forms.’
