Mere mortals in front of the front of the Palos Verdes Art Center. Building wrap in situ til December 2, 2020.

I love this spectacularly dramatic piece called “Hello Mate”. The hot pink and blues of the anemones in springtime in the Willamette Valley really glow on this east wall bathed in southern Californian light.

The entrance faces south, and the portico with four columns and a lighting fixture was a wonderful thing to deal with in issues of image continuity, relationship to all the parts, and scale. of course. Taken in late afternoon when the sun from the west highlights the west facing portico, and throws everything else into the shadow of the PV hills.

The Palos Verdes Art Center, wrapped in my still life photography. 2019-2020.

I wish I could tell you that it looks like this every night….but this was taken on the show’s opening night, with full Hollywood lighting to give viewers a unique and exciting look at my work.

This wall is almost like a secret find, tucked away at the back of the building. The folks who work there use this door, and it pleases them greatly that this beautiful piece greets them as they come and go.

and in turn it shades the south and east facing walls of the Palos Verdes Art Center. I love seeing it all the different times of day.

The six foot tall portico on top of the 13 foot tall columns gave me a lot of room to play with scale in a way I’d never considered. The wrap material, vinyls chosen appropriate to their substrates, on the columns is thinner and more flexible than the more rigid wall material, a challenge for the installers.

With me, for scale. At the Palos Verdes Art Center, near Los Angeles, California. September 7th, 2019 through December 2, 2020. The exterior of the building is “wrapped” in my still life photography in the form of large scale vinyl digital prints. From February 8-November 23, 2020, the Norris Gallery inside PVAC features a solo exhibition of my work, “More Pictures About Flowers and Bugs”, by appointment only due to Covid 19.
