Video made from strips of 35mm photographic film exposed in a medium format toy camera and with no Photoshop manipulation of the developed negatives.

Groot Groot Groot is a black and white silver gelatin print made from a multiple- exposed medium format negative in a Holga camera. I scanned the print and made stickers from it on a laser printer. Two stickers were affixed to one of the Groot trash bins that were the subject of the original photograph. I have been documenting what happens to the stickers over time.

The Poet (Homage to Kurt Schwitters)

The Poet is discarded electronics, wooden soup spoon, wire, plaster, a found and dismembered carved wooden animal figure, candle wax, encaustic medium, oil pigment, glue, screws, and alligator-clip leads.



The Poet sometimes holds a beetle-carved walking-stick during his readings.

The Poet can be melted down, unscrewed and reassembled at any time.

These videos should be played simultaneously. Persons with fast connections can play The Poet themselves by moving the playback sliders around.
