Found art

Yeah, it's just a used painter's palett, but I like the way it looks, and so it's been hanging on my wall for a few years.

Collages

Scraping the bottom of the barrel for these now-- many of the ones I pulled out just don't hold up very well, but these four have their charms I suppose. I was recently inspired by Genesis P-Orridge's new exhibition and book, so I might start making these again if I have time (maybe just try and whip out a few in one delirious night, using sleep deprivation as a window into the subconscious.)

Stencil / "vandalized painting"

"Red Shift"

A work in progress, it maybe needs something else. Another "vandalized painting"-- the minimal red canvas I found at a thrift store, thought it was unfinished, and then noticed it was signed "John Park (?) 10/02" in pencil . . . so he considered it finished? I added the stencil. Measures about 24 x 30 inches.

Found photo (negative)

Perhaps more properly labeled under "WTF?!", an old roommate of mine found this pinned up in a dilapidated shack out in the woods (Chelmsford MA. maybe?), depicting a smiling double amputee. Copy and paste into whatever paint/photoshop program you have and reverse the colors if you really need to see what she looks like.

Damaged photographs 4

More deliberately damaged photos, treated by soaking and random abrasion, almost completely without thought. As with all these posts you can click the image for more detail, some files are pretty large, and close-ups provide interesting details (especially on the damaged photos, which don't look so interesting from a distance.).
