TRIBUTE TO ALLISON PUTNAM

DECEASED

Bye!

For our last collaboration Allison and I made tributes to our time in the midwest with our belongings. The type of stuff that we couldn't justify taking with us, and couldn't really give away, but still didn't want to just throw out.

So here it is:

My Shrine To The Dumpsters and Parked Cars and That Couple Who Gave Us Some Stuff They Didn't Want Because They Were Moving Away. Just Like Us.*

*Created and destroyed on the same day.

HAIR PLATE. Dead center.

(It's Claire and Allison's hair.)

Allison Putnam and I have parted ways. I to the West and she to the East.

Farewell my long time lover and collaborator. I will never forget that time when those two really beautiful young ladies (who were probably urban outfitter models) gave us the 'okay' sign from their very vintage car, I think it was a rusty/black VW Bug, but I may be making things up.

Why did they do that?

IT WAS BECAUSE WE ARE ATTRACTIVE.

(observe and be attracted)

ART BOX!

(a portable free art vending machine operated by live humans)

sometimes art is really people in a box making things at the request of pedestrians...

Attack of the 120 foot spider!

I drew this when I was 15 from one of my favorite hair clips, which I subsequently lost.

testing out my installation "look up, look down"

consisting of a swing and two mirrors "look up, look down" explores the shifting horizon and interruption of infinity

the audience/participant both activates and negates the space (paradox!)
