Aron Gent for Jettison Quarterly, 2012
I recently photographed my good friend Aron Gent for a lil’ feature in Jettison Quarterly. In the past year he started his own professional photographic printing company and gallery, Document. He’s basically a superstar.

I’m loving this guy’s brain right now.
Jason Lazarus - Phase I
Occupy University of South Florida at Tampa public display and occupation, Jason Lazarus, 2011
J-Laz strikes again! Check out this really lovely interview with Jason about his new archive of re-created Occupy signs, Phase I. Easily one of my favorite artists to watch grow and develop his endless arsenal of incredible projects.

Halcion Sleep, video on DVD , 26 minutes, edition of 3, 1994
“…the artist took a double dose of the sleeping pill Halcion, and -recorded in a single 26 minute real time shot on video- is driven through the city at night, lying on the back seat of a car, wearing old-fashioned pajamas, lit dimly by glittering city lights. The instruction-piece-style rule creating the piece - take a double dose of a sleeping pill and let yourself be transported without further ado - is suspended by the artist’s loss of control, his dreamless sleep, as if he was transported by the legendary bird Halcion, who builds his nest on the waves of the sea.”
-Romantic Conceptualism, Kunsthalle Nürnberg 2007
Behind the paper
Muir Woods National Monument, California, 2011
I recently scanned an image from last summer when I made the Long life is in store for you pieces. As much as I love the piece on it’s own outside the context of the forest, I couldn’t resist sharing this image.
On the back side of each piece of paper remains a dusting of the moist bark of the Redwoods. I wonder if with time and movement it might loosen and fall to the stark white spacer below the paper, leaving another little trace of the tree itself.
A little peek behind the paper…
