Dead Media 5: Newspaper Skull

I was invited to speak at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas and as part of my visit I worked with students in the graphic design program to create a new large scale anamorphic installation in the lobby of the School of the Arts building. The timing was appropriate as it was just announced that the local newspaper would no longer be printing in town, but moving production to another city before eventually transitioning to just a digital format. This temporary piece will stay up for just a few days before it is disassembled and recycled.

This piece is part of my ongoing Dead Media series. Would you like me to make one at your school? Get in touch.

Dead Media 4

I was asked to create a new site specific installation at the Science Museum of Virginia here in Richmond, Virginia as part of the RVA MakerFest. The local creative reuse organization Stuff Redux helped me collect the hundreds of CDs & DVDs I needed to create this anamorphic piece.

[BONUS] 434. Dead Media 3

I was recently invited to go to Austin Peay University for a short residency where I created a new anamorphic installation in my Dead Media series. In this case I worked with old vinyl records. Around 100 were used to create this site specific piece...

[BONUS] 429. Dead Media 2

I was invited by the kind folks at Alchemy NFK to participate in their Darkmatters pop-up one-night exhibition in Norfolk, Virginia on Friday, January 30, 2015.

I worked with a literal truckload of thrift store books (456 to be exact) to create this temporary anamorphic installation. After the show is over the piece will be dismantled and the books will be donated to CHKD Thrift Store which benefits the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters.

The piece only looks complete from a single point in the room. The video and images below give a sense of how distorted it looks from any other viewpoint.

[BONUS] Dead Media: Time-Lapse

The folks at the TCC Visual Arts Center created this fun time-lapse video of my recent Dead Media piece being installed in their gallery!

Here's what the finished project looked like:
