These are a mix of paintings and mixed media from my Landers, Frary, & Clark series, Hardware City series, Popular Science Series, and the Wainscott series. There is much overlapping of the three.(Click on an image to see full views.)

THE LANDERS, FRARY, & CLARK SERIES

When I had a studio in the Landers, Frary & Clark factory, I became interested in the windows. I took photographs of the windows and used them to make digital art and vectors to create vinyl stencils that I painted through in the paintings in the NewNow exhibit. I included actual windows taken from the factory when they switch them out for new thermal windows. These were mounted and filled with lasercut motifs similar to those in the paintings.The LF&C series (abbreviated from Landers, Frary & Clark) explores the windows in an abstract way without the use of vinyl stencil. I’m exploring the relationship between the line and shape of the panes and the surface between them. Contrasts in color, texture, and matte verses gloss are important. The original window photos remind me of that quality that inspired me- a feeling one gets with stained glass windows in churches.
