Once this work is acquired, I will proceed to saw off the face of the frame. The owner has the opportunity to say when I should stop.
I have taken to making souvenirs of larger pieces. Often these souvenirs were gifts to individuals who supported or participated in the production of the work.
Say When is a souvenir made about and after Peter Lynch and I maked the film A Short Film About Falling.
Not to be Lost is a memento constructed using broken twigs and branches from Waiting for the Tooth Fairy.
Overcome - the wall piece- takes many of the gray balls used in the video and houses them in a wall cabinet.
Why be Normal….is the burnt book from the photo series Was On - Wax Off.
There is even a site specific souvenir piece. A drawing of the frame on the back of the studio bathroom door. Oh yes, the coat hook is real.
