Gallery-wide show on the topic of the NYC Subways. My show is called ‘Transit Transitions’.

From the artist statement: “I was drawn to NYC by the fast pace of a city always in motion. I love riding the subways. My work is about motion; trains and people coming and going are good subjects for my overlapping panorama technique. Using a plastic camera, the long images are created by only partially advancing the film; the overlapping occurs in the film itself. These mostly unplanned juxtapositions capture my experience and at the same time have an identity all their own.”

I am a participating artist in a venture by Davis Orton Gallery to offer small affordable prints online to the public. Prints are available as limited editions of 20 on DavisOrtonEditions.com (defunct as of 2/2/20).

Launch party was Saturday, April 5 from 5-8pm. Images by dozens of artists are available online now.

4-person show; I’m one of two Portfolio Showcase exhibitors. Stephen DiRado, Bob Avakian, Susan Bowen, Miska Draskoczy. [12 pieces from the Legs and Feet series]

Davis Orton Gallery is a charming gallery in the artsy small town of Hudson in upstate New York.

From my statement: “An interesting aspect of these images is that the exposure time (usually 1/15 of a second) often captures one foot in sharpness and the other totally blurred. Multiple people walking together might seem to be a single person with mis-matched feet. A person might seem to only possess only leg. The swirl of fabric might create a dynamic abstraction.”
