It's been so long and the box of tape has been sitting around just pouting so I finally forced myself to start sketching. Katherine was working so I drew her "computer" face. This one had to get taken down before I finished it so it's in the sketch phase and it was done in 20 minutes or so.

(32"×32") The raven is for a book that's coming out next year called The ARK Project.

(24"×13") This one's been sitting around my apartment collecting dust, like real flowers in my apartment do, so I finally took some shots of it. Don't know where I got this piece of wood but it seemed like a good canvas for tape.

(12'×9') This is the largest tape mural I've done and it's on the wall at 55 Norfolk. After WWII my Grandfather spent two years on a whaling ship in the Antarctic called the Hashidate Maru. He used to tell me stories about how smart the whales were, how they were so strong they'd burn out the engines of the boats by pulling them for miles. I think this piece is my imagining of that struggle but from the whale's perspective. It feels both violent and serene to me.;)

(23"x31") Black and yellow masking tape and paper tape on corrugated cardboard of the average variety. This one is much smaller than the ones on the wall and feels more like how I actually draw. This is one of many tape portraits I am doing to be installed at 55 Norfolk Gallery in Cambridge, MA.
