Artwork / Archives / 2004
In 2004, I made art about television and otherwise spent quite a lot of time in theaters, both on and off stage. First, I made a series of portraits to go with a play I was in—that project is explained here. And then I made the promotional images for another theater’s entire season.
I also played a crow in defunkt theater’s production of Mac Wellman’s A Murder of Crows in Portland, Oregon, and I ended up painting the backdrops for the piece. They are the wall hangings visible in this photo, and they had combined dimensions of 12 by 52 feet. I painted with the canvas laid out on the floor, experiencing the glee of Pollock and every action painter who has followed in his paint-stained footprints!
