Fortieth series, SeeMeTellMe Snowflakes 
To celebrate the holidays I am borrowing the wonderful show flake images of Wilson Alwyn "Snowflake" Bentley (1865-1931). A self educated farmer, Bentley attracted world attention with his photomicrography, most notably his extensive work with snow crystals. He adapted a microscope to a bellows camera, caught flakes on a background of black velvet, and became the first person to photograph a single snow crystal in 1885. He would photograph more than 5000 snowflakes during his lifetime. These works will consist of a
2 x 1 x ½ inch clear box, a clear sticker of one of Bentley’s images, a bit of glitter, a battery, and a red, green, or blue LED. The works will be placed in New York and Louisville until from December 16-January 4, 2011.
Did you see one or take one home for your collection? Tell me about it.

Thirty-ninth series: Subway Monarchs, ed. 50
I missed the seeing the Monarch butterflies this year. They are usually the harbingers of fall, along with morning glories and trilling cicadas. But for some reason I didn’t get to see as many as I would have liked. So I decided to bring a few of them back. The works consist of xerox images, gold wire, silver glitter, a magnet, and the seemetellme labels. They will be placed in the subway from early December through late January.
Did you see one? Tell me all about it.

Thirty-eighth series:
See Me Tell Me Replacements, nos. 1-10
For this series I "borrowing" three inch square sections of media from the posters in the subway. Then in the studio I embellish them with new elements - papers, beads, glitter, sequins, text, and LEDs. Then I return the works to their original location. These works will be placed throughout December, 2011.
