One of my new animation pieces Untitled (bowhead skull) is going to be displayed in a group show in NY Studio Gallery this September along with two photographs from the Tales from Vienna Woods project. To present my animation I found an antique postcard projector from the early 1900s, gutted it out and outfitted it with an LCD monitor and a hard drive. The result is a self-contained and unique (as in edition of one) video installation piece which will run the animation on a continuous loop. See the photos below to get an idea of what it looks like. This week I will be posting the animation itself followed by the ‘making of section,’ so stay put!

The show will run from Sept 3—Oct 3 with an opening on Sept 9th, 7—9pm (please save the date!) More details to follow.

I would also like to express gratitude to my dad whose engineering degree and incredible handiness have helped me put this tin box apart and back together again.
