Rock art featuring images of contemporary life.
This cyclist ascending the freshly opened road between Reyðarfjörður and Egilsstaðir. We traversed it a few days before, and it was rough going. What this cyclist does not know is that the 8 foot drifts have left a kilometer of ice and slush that runs six inches thick.
Heading back to the residency in Stöðvarfjörður

Fish farm on the way to Stodvarfjordur Creative Center….getting close….one fjord away.

Considerately, this place is more than a mile west of town, because it does smell sweet. What at first appeared to be drying eels, turned out to be Atlantic wolffish.

Today, I am excited to announce that a novel new website about artists and their work has launched, and I am honored to be included. About each artist, the site features an introductory Context piece, an interview in the Dialogue, a photo gallery of the artist’s studio, and a Rack of the artist’s work. The site is At The Gates of the West.
Initially Gates of the West features three artists, Chelsea Gibson, Gail Stoicheff, and myself (Context, Dialogue, Studio, and Rack).

The spatial relationship between the rock jets and the viewer of the works on paper constitutes the overarching form of each of my works of art as a whole.
These prints are indexed in a relational database which is potentially the most ephemeral, yet most central component of the aerospace perspective.
My vision for this carving is to document the space age for the long term.
Beyond the local impact for people with physical access to the rock, this impression presents the work off-site where my artwork becomes a remotely accessible experience.
My Impressions enhance texture. The imperfections and cuts of the drawings mimic the natural aesthetics of the original carving .
Here’s the Moose Rock with the Aspy Bay and Cape North in the background. My intention was to carve fish and fishermen, but my host argued that people there ate as much moose as fish, so I carved this moose.
Below, shows the carving painted for printing and a rice paper impression made from the carving.
Philosopher and author, Alva Noe, characterizes my work well:
” The very project, then, is a social experiment; the artist works with rock and carving, but he also works with this more immaterial material of delicate social relations and community. This is no less the stuff of his art.”

This carving features a working cowboy, Morris Ware, from the community around the carving, Jerry Brown had invited some funeral directors out to Ingomar to stay at the Bunk n’ Biscuit, ride horses and push cows during the day, and hang out at the Jersey Lily at night. I tagged along one day while they pushed cows closer to the ranch for the fall roundup.
The best part of the day was lunch at the Newman’s ranch.
