Updating my Photobook

The last time I updated this book was before a show in summer 2019. (Thanks Covid….) 

So, it’s safe to say a lot needs to be adjusted before the opening of my show on June 11th: Sold work taken out, new gallery pieces and contact info added, and of course, an updated CV.

This book comes with me to shows (space allowing) so anyone can flip through the pages and see additional work that may not have fit for the show, paintings that are currently in galleries and photos of commissions. For previous shows I had these up on a laptop/ipad, but I feel like there is something slightly more personal about leafing through an actual book. (And, on a number of occasions after the show I’d discover open tabs to people’s personal emails…. That was always an odd moment.) Archaic, analog book it is!

I use a sturdy binder with a slim profile. I love big, bold Leslie-Knope-styled binders for personal record keeping, but wanted something a tad smaller for the show setting.

I rotate out photos and info, making sure that what’s between the covers presents as a cohesive collection and not just a hodge-podge of work.

If there are fun texture moments or interesting process photos I’ll include one or two - but the emphasis is on full shots of the work in various settings. Currently I would say it’s more akin to a ‘lookbook’ rather than a ‘portfolio’. I have a website for that. (and you’re on it!)

This book (in it’s final stage!) will be with me for my upcoming solo show, Color & Contour.

The show opens on June11th at 6pm, with an RSVP-only digital preview at 530. Follow this link for more info and maybe see the book (and work…) in person!
