Latest Pictures From Camp Meade

These are the latest photos of the new work being made for my show in New York in April. There are going to be two large sculptural installations and then a new group of collages to go along with the 3D pieces. Some of the collages can be seen in the newest post, but this is only a few of them.
The mountain sculpture is about 5 feet tall and is constructed out of carved foam and various found materials. All of which is then heavily coated with a homemade version of an acrylic aqua resin. The rainbows are constructed out of ply and wiggle board covered with paper mache and painted. The largest of which will appear to pierce the wall and come out on the other side in the main space of the gallery.

The Story Of Camp Meade

For those who might be curious about what the heck Camp Meade is, here's the story...
I'm presently renting a studio at an historic WPA camp. It was build back in the New Deal Era when men were given employment by the federal government on public works projects around the country in order to get the ecomomy going again after the Great Depression. The camp was where the workers lived while constructing bridges and dams around the state of Vermont. For many years after the WPA was disbanded, the camp was run as a restaurant with rental cabins around a pool. It catered to biker groups, large families looking for a place to have reunions, and many of the teachers from the local high school who gathered at the diner for breakfast before home room. I can't say much for what the food was like but the owners had a unique collection of antique army junk, like planes and tanks and stuff. Humorously enough some of these artifacts are still there on the green outside my studio door. Most recently the property was purchased by a local couple and is being built out as an artisnal bakery and cafe and hopefully a cluster of artist spaces like mine.

Art car spotted in Hadlock WA last fall outside a junk shoppe. Couldn't resist its charms. Ended up using it in the title bar of my Etsy site.
