I made this art.
An interesting, vulnerable, exciting thing to say.
This is one of the prints I made since coming to Oaxaca. My process of photographing tiny segments of wall space on the street means I am always looking to harvest.
Harvest is how I refer to the initial process of being aware of the opportunity, taking the source photo, and teeing it up for manipulation.
The editing and adjustments come later. It's like a whole other half of the entire process. Usually when I am sitting and reflecting, I select the images that work and start to tinker.
I'm learning a new camera and figuring out how to integrate it into the art-making process I actually want to be part of.
Making art at my computer is not what I want to do. At least for now.
I like the intuitive, fireworks-life process of selecting an image and seeing what I can do with it to breathe new life into it and make it something new, that works.
This is Post All Bills No. 9,109 and I quite love it. I have released it in an open edition and kept the price low.
The original work will be produced this summer, likely on canvas, and a wooden frame.
I hope you like it.

Ps. The first two images are mockups in situ, the 3rd is the final artwork, and the 4th is the source photo.
