63 Broken Ladders
I mailed my postcards for this year’s plotter postcard exchange. The design this year is “63 of 255 possible broken 8 rung ladders (in order) + 1 complete 8 rung ladder.” I plotted the cards using an Axidraw SE/A3 with a Staedtler pigment liner for the black lines and a Sakura Pigma PN for the red.
Opening and Closing
I have work in two exhibitions–one opening this week and one closing:
Closing – The Time Being
Curated by Lauren Nye and Nandini Makrandi of the Hunter Museum of American Art, The Time Being is a group show in Chattanooga, Tennessee, of work from 2025 Stove Works residents. My work Spans (CMY), a set of three plotter prints, is included. All the work in the show is for sale with proceeds benefiting Stove Works. Pick up individual pieces (1, 2, 3) or buy the whole set. Act fast, because the show closes on Saturday, January 17!
Opening – UA Art & Art History 2026 Faculty Biennial Exhibition
I have a new set of bridge-related plotter art work in the faculty biennial show at the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The exhibition opens Thursday, January 15 and runs through February 20. There’s an opening reception tomorrow, January 15 from 4-6pm.
Plotter Postcards to Bridge the Divide
I finally sent out all my cards for this years Plotter Postcard exchange. The design features algorithmically generated bridges viewed from various angles. I’m working on other plots using this bridge module–so keep an eye out for more.
Banned Books Exhibition
Two of my artworks were juried into the Banned Books Exhibition at The W Galleries in Columbus, Mississippi. The show is in Summer Hall on the campus of Mississippi University for Women, and it runs from September 23 – October 25, 2024.
If I Hate Fairyland, Feelings….Fruits Basket, Plural (2024) is a generative computer image plotter print that shows a speculative list of banned book titles generated from PEN America’s Index of School Book Bans (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023).
Rated PG-13 For (2022) displays an ever changing list of reasons films were rated PG-13. The words slowly fade in and then dissipate even more slowly. The rating descriptions are pulled at random from a database that includes every PG-13 film released as of 2021.
