Haydn Shaughnessy gives a little teaser / preview of his Fragments project today and features my work. For some reason, he put up a tiny image, so here’s a close-up:
Window, 8×10 inches, lambda print on metallic paper, edition 100
Saving this for the web unfortunately managed to dull the colors a bit – the blues and reds are wonderfully startling with the real thing. I’m very happy with the project generally; it’s the first time I’ve produced “artist affordable” archival art (€40 / $65 each!). Haydn explains the project, in which he solicits artists to re-work larger projects at the lower-priced editions of 100:
Basically Fragments is a project where I’ve asked artists to go back to a work and select a fragment that in some way typifies the larger work or has special resonance. This fragment is called Window and it is from a street scan called Cathedral by Nathaniel. We have some interesting artists lined up for Fragments more of which later when I’ll also get round to posting Cathedral.
Beat ya to it, buddy! Here’s the original work: Cathedral, lambda print on metallic paper, 20 x 36 inches, edition 5 (also with colors slightly dulled when saved for web, sadly):
I really like how the “fragments,” can be details, screen grabs, refigured pieces or collages – Haydn has some really great artists and art works lined up, and I can imagine them flying off the web/wall a set at a time once he launches next month. Keep a look out!
Both Window and Cathedral are part of my ongoing Compressionism series of prints.
