\nPAT McCARTHY . . ‘BORN TO KILL’ – ISSUE 90 – ‘BUILDING A FIRE – IN EDEN’
\nPRINTED IN NEW YORK CITY – OPEN EDITIONS ONLY – FALL 2016
\n8 x 10 in. copy paper sheets \/ folded in half & bound with 2 staples at the ‘spine’.<\/p>\n

to accompany:
\n‘SYLVAIN COUZINET-JACQUES: EDEN’ \/ which included a PAT McCARTHY ceramic clay miniature replica of the historical school house, & made on-site in North Carolina, & fired using a DIY kiln – also built by PAT.<\/p>\n

that’s a really nice quality, hi-contrast color photograph, 4 x 5 in. on shiny photo paper, scotch-taped to the cover – really nice touch. nice contrast to the low-fi quality of the black & white ‘zine’ and totally . . pumps up the DIY vibe.
\nlike how it slightly lifts off the page, from where the corners are taped down. very sculptural.
\nvery interesting, dramatic . . heat seeking to the imagination.
\nromantic.
\nthat must be a view, looking down – of the DIY kiln, Pat built on site to fire the ‘school house’.
\nfire burns bright, but so does that cold steel blue – metal. <\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-born-to-kill-eden-zine\"<\/a>
\nflips easiest \/ brand new – to the center page \/ double page – spread.
\ngorgeous, silent, profound.
\nthe height of the sky – is awesome. is it day ? is it night ? is it special ?
\nyes.<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-little-red-schoool-house\"<\/a>
\nlet’s go back . . towards the beginning.
\nThe Little Red School House – BUILT 1887.<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-little-red-school-house-4-views\"<\/a>
\nthese must be the 4 views Pat took – to help model the mini replica school house, a 3-D building in the – round, in this case almost: square.<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthyhy-detail-of-south-view\"<\/a>
\nclose-op of that page \/ so architectural.
\nso historical. I bet Pat’s finished clay piece mimicked a lot of this detail, esp the brickwork, though you couldn’t see it, in the exhibit. <\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarty-david-goliath\"<\/a>
\nthe hand lettering \/ casual notes . . made the project – come alive !!
\nso intimate \/ so sharing . . <\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-davids-goliath-text\"<\/a>
\nso, PIRATE !!<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-diy-kiln-north-carolina\"<\/a>
\nthe DIY propane – kiln.<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-diy-kiln\"<\/a>
\n“300 degrees F, 30 min. in . . . ”<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-propane-kiln\"<\/a>
\n“2000 degrees F, 3 hours in . . .”<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-finished-ceramic-school-house\"<\/a>
\nthis must be the ‘fired’ school house – as it first emerged from the fire & heat . . of the kiln.<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-detail-school-house\"<\/a>
\ndetail PAT McCARTHY – the little red school house, in . . SYLAIN COUZINET-JACQUES’ – ‘EDEN’ project.
\nso raw, so evocative. tiny architectural details.
\ndoors swing – open.<\/p>\n

\"pat-mccarthy-walmart\"<\/a>
\nPAT concludes with a few ‘travelog’ – North Carolina . . notes !!
\n“are you kidding me ? Are You Kidding Me ??
\n2-stroke 100 cc trail bike by COLEMAN.”<\/p>\n

THE VIEW FROM MY DESK.
\nTHEY SHOULDA . . BLOWN UP THESE 4 x 5 in. pgs & PLASTERED – THEM ALL<\/strong> OVER THAT APERTURE – GALLERY.
\nAS A BACK-DROP.
\nor, at least in that gloomy – entry.
\nit’s like the true beauty, mystery, stark history + potential of the show, got cut off at the knees, by a lack of inspiration – in the exhibit design.
\nironically, it’s amazing how it comes so alive – within the flimsy pages of a low-fi . . zine.<\/p>\n
