Come Out for the First Friday Show This Friday Night Starting at 6pm. Read on for more about the show. These works grew out of a convergence of several ongoing areas of
investigation, but the primary motivation was an attempt to come to
grips (both literally and metaphorically) with the way American
culture uses language to glorify war.The pieces are essentially anti-war visual poems made by taking
rubbings from public monuments.

Each was made in situ, using lumber crayons on paper (a set of tools
whose rich potential I learned through the work of, and in
correspondence with, David-Baptiste Chirot), and each individual piece
limits itself to the language found on a single monument (though some
monuments yielded multiple pieces).

My hope is that the pieces operate on such a basic level that anyone
who views them will, from that day forward, regardless of ideological
agreement or disagreement, find themselves automatically locating the
anti- language contained within the language of monuments.

Show opens Friday July 6th from 6pm to 10pm.

Show runs through July 27th, please email: testpatternart@gmail.com
