Twenty-fifth Series: See Me Color Matching My World, edition 100.
Armed with a pantone book, my little notebook, and with a nod to Spencer Finch I set out to specifically identify the colors I come across. I took photographs of scenes and then noted the time, date, and location. Then I PMSed (color matched) the most interesting color in the scene. Sometimes that hue is the dominate color, sometimes it is a tiny accent or an accidental color. These works consist of a 3 ½ x 2 inch glassine envelope with a color specifier chip attached to the lower right corner of the outside of the envelope and silver glitter on the lower left corner. Inside is a photograph of the scene and on the verso a second image of the scene and a second specifier chip with the title of the series, the edition number, the date and location of the photograph, and the PMS match description. The envelope is sealed with a little sticker of a photograph of my eye. These works will be placed between December 15, 2010–January 29, 2011.

Twenty-fourth Series: Little Monsters, ed. 13
You know those great 19th and early 20th century neo-Romanesque / Gothic ornaments of faces and gargoyles you see on the buildings all over New York? Love them!! I have been known to climb up to the upper stories of nearby buildings just to get a look. I imagine them patiently watching the city evolve and coming to life when we are not looking. So I gathered together a selection of these images and some of their antecedents and made them all into little monsters by adding mouths, tongues, and bindings. These works consist of a 3 ½ x 2 inch poly bag, red wrapping paper, Japanese paper, string, thread, ribbon, sequins, and beads. And while these works look great tucked away in their baggies they are also wonderful when removed so you can see what is inside! They will be placed between December 15, 2010–January 4, 2011. Did you see one? Tell me!
