I am very much looking forward to its release, and hope that it delivers its message in a palatable serving.It's only 120 pages, so perhaps we will call it a "minigraph".
 This has been a long time in the making....

Cosmology shifting

Tightened Phase 3 Cosmologies

Germinal Cosmology[s]

The next wave explores the relationships between the alpha and omega situational structuring... of examining the Blink with the Gaze.

The effects of  drawing residue rendered manifest in a dimensional concept bucket. The spirit of the membrane impregnation will be evolved using the structural fluidity of the blockage of light.

This is the beginning...

Teaser- not making the cut

RIEA submission fast approaching.... A teaser shot- this one will be left on my cutting room floor. A shout to Chris Wormald for the photography of this ancient project.....

the conversation...

Somewhere back in 2000, long before the ubiquitous iPhone, linksys, and free [!] AT&T wifi @ Starbux, I worked on a little project labeled The Placemaker [or Seedplanter]. One of the peripheral concepts/experiments was a system of on-line [back before it was "online"] jack-in points, that served the multi-purpose of street lighting, solar charging stations [LEED of course], and waste management robotic assistant hubs.

The little gray explorations that were suppressed by the explosive formal and conceptual focal point that is suspended just above.... colored as the locus of power.


As I pull graphic sound bites  from photos during the retool of my catalogue for the forthcoming RIEA book, I thought it might be interesting to render the subtexts of some of the more compelling projects.
