I thought I'd post some of my exploring related pieces from a recent collective show (Ceci N'est Pas Un Spectacle D'art "This is Not an Art Show"). I had a short amount of time to pull together a collection. The craftsmanship is poor, but I think the story line and cohesiveness make up for the imperfections.
Mini-collection: "The zombies came. They took the brains, but left the buttons."
Artist statement: I'll always remember the conservation I had with an old lover that started off with "I'll protect you when the zombies come" and ended with a plan. We decided that the survivors of zombie apocalypse would be those who thrive in destruction. There are people who would be perfectly happy in an empty city-- Happy to camp on rooftops and use drains to get around. -- Happy to play a daily game of hide-and-not-die-from-zombies. This little collection is not really about a zombie apocalypse, but about the people who could survive and the culture and attitude they would create. I'm guessing if this ever actually happened some of the survivors would be explorers. --very happy ones running amuck with cameras taking loads of lonely chair shots and light painting everywhere.
1. all three pieces together
2. mini-collection sign that explains concept
3. First piece- "World Annihilation"- Signifies the beginning of the zombie apocalypse
4.Second piece-"Be Fearless. Be Free."- Tells of the attitude that the survivors have created in order to survive their own chaos.-relates the most to the explorer aspect of the collection hence the gas mask
5. Third piece- "Big Adventure"-The culture accepts that nothing can last forever, but that's okay.
Thank you for viewing. :]

We moved my Mammoth out to Slab City this weekend:
In its new home I call it The Definition of a Grievance.

Lol one of my friends and I decided one day that we would turn my car into a woolly mammoth once it finally died. I doubt it ever would have become as badass as your idea though.

Cool, both mediums seem a bit structurally weak though, how would you get it to stay together?

The caged being inside of you must break free from his shackles, for our partial sanity or pseudo-sanity, if so applies, cannot contain it forever without repercussion of mental breakdown. |

I really like 1. I've always had a few ideas for pieces to incorporate card art like that, but had trouble actually doing it.
