--- Assemblage ---


"Voting Booth 2.1" used an
actual Harris County punch
card model and we offered
some modern upgrades. We
placed it public spaces
in Houston where citizens
could experince audio conflict [via Rare Hungry Birds][2008]

VB2.1 visited Houston: More here

Post-election interest in
VB2.1 brought the need for
VB2.2, which was displayed at Aerosol Warfare during Houston's Art Crawl, 11.22.08.

"Self Portrait" for The Face Show, Art Car Museum [2005]

I thought of this immediately and even after completion. I did not realize it was not a traditional self-portrait, until some one mentioned it. 

I was extremely stressed until Mr. Edmondson said it was, in fact, Me -- and ArtsHouston Magazine agreed. Hooray!

Many items and typed entries have been added to this piece.

 


 
"Sammy" originally in a varnished box with shroud
during the Animal Show,

Art Car Museum [2003].

Now he's more comfortable
outside of his box on the back
of my reading chair (seen here
during Hurricane Rita 2005).

 

 

"Daily Driver Award"
constructed by request for
The Orange Show for the
Art Car Awards [2004]

This was the hardest
Aynmade item I've had to
give up, but it would not
have been fair to do less
and I would not have made anything like it without
their request in the first
place. I love to think of
how it would look if
everything on this
could actually rotate.
