a laminated collage with a portrait composition featuring a beige background with a transparent plastic overlayed the top of it. the plastic has horizontal slits in it to accommodate small strips of gridded sticker tape. at the top of the composition there is a dense amount of this gridded sticker tape, in the shape of a long horizontal rectangle. green dot stickers are layered beneath the plastic and above and slip out from the edges of it. there is a yellow square of paper in the bottom right corner that has a barcode and a number that is obscured by a green sticker on it. to the left of that there is a small collection of shaky marks made with a ballpoint pen.

a laminated collage with a portrait composition featuring an image of a firework taped to a small piece of white paper, floated in the center of the collage. there are orange and white labels laid down behind the image. this one features a large amount of clear plastic space around the collage which is a rarity.

a laminated collage with a portrait composition featuring large letters traced in graphite on white paper. the legible letters are “G” “H” and “F.” on top of the letters is a group of yellow oval stickers that dance around a graphite mark that stretches from the bottom right corner to the top left corner.

a laminated collage with a portrait composition featuring a blown up scan of a book with most of the text obscured by large yellow rub down transfer lines.

these three laminated collages from july/august 2022 left the studio this week, some of my earlier explorations of what was possible in making these.

a laminated collage with a portrait composition featuring a black and white photograph that takes up the bulk of the pictorial space with the exception of a thin yellow border around the edge. the photograph is of the shadow of a figure casted on the sidewalk of chicago’s downtown ‘loop’ in late august, when the infamous “chicago henge” occurs (worth a google search). on top of the photograph is a piece of corrective tape that is black on one side and white on the reverse, it is laid atop in the shape of a rounded rectangle circling the figure.

this one is from 2023!

album cover for macie stewart’s “when the distance is blue” on international anthem. the image is of a photocopied image of a mountain range with a road in the foreground printed atop a combination of beige, green, and blue paper. the print is obstructed by a fold in the paper.

vinyl mock up for macie stewart’s “when the distance is blue” on international anthem. the image is of a photocopied image of a mountain range with a road in the foreground printed atop a combination of beige, green, and blue paper. the print is obstructed by a fold in the paper.

really excited to have had the opportunity to work on the album art + layout for @maciestewart.bsky.social’s new one on @intlanthem.bsky.social! it’s such a beautiful beautiful record! 💙
