Longing to Make an Anti-Dystopia

What I am actually longing for

When I listen honestly, I am not longing to do nothing.

I am longing to make.

I want to make handmade paper.

I want to work with wet plate collodion.

I want to experiment without making every experiment prove its future usefulness.

I want to follow the material intelligence of the work.

I want to let my home become a studio again.

I want to cook, sleep, sort, mend, walk, read, and remember what kind of life allows art to arrive.

Studio Day 75 - Call for Artists

6311arts Call for Artists - screenshot

This work is from my archive, from the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. It was the first time the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was displayed in DC. I was there with my then partner, several friends, and thousands and thousands of others. We had traveled from Vermont to Washington for the weekend - community, joy, rage - and tears.. so many tears, and laughter, and the deep awe of our presence taking over the Capital that weekend. 

This is a large print made by tiling sheets of paper. It will be taped directly to a wall along the top edge of each sheet. It's still very much a work in progress, though this current iteration feels good. The attached image is a prototype printed on regular paper. The exhibition print will be on vellum.

I'm also working a single legal-size sheet about the work which folds into a fortune teller, an artist statement and a momento to take away.

The work as displayed for the exhibition is priced at $750. ... I might also sell it as a limited digital edition with the right to print and install, say for $200. I'm open to discussion on pricing and the digital option.

Thanks for your consideration,

Larry
