bottle cap art

April 18, 2010 in craft, reuse, school, sculpture, trash

i recently finished an artist-in-residence at the Danville School in Danville, Vermont for their three-day arts festival. the theme was “ReUse” so we made some sculpture out of bottle caps and other items that most people would throw away…

the complete set of photos is on my Flickr page.

iPhone photography

April 4, 2010 in photography, sculpture

i’ve been completely obsessed with the various apps available for making iPhone photos look all retro and psychedelic. my favorites are Hipstamatic, Lo-Mob, and Tilt-Shift-Gen.

phone exhibit poster

these are pictures i took to exhibit at a “phone-tography” show for Geek Week at Langdon Street Cafe in Montpelier, Vermont.

i also made a 12:1 scale iPhone out of foam core and paper, and used the prints i made as the apps.

the exhibit

you can see all the photos on my flickr stream.

i may never use a regular camera again.
