EACH ORB [ EDITION OF 5 ]

First shown at the Above/Below exhibition at Museum of Future Experiences [ MoFE ] in NYC, April 2022. The ‘Above/Below’ Orbs is a series of ten framed mixed-medium artworks. These prints are a mixed-medium process of silkscreen on C-print. Each ‘ORB’ print is a limited edition of 5, signed and numbered, never to be printed again. The series was printed at Gary Lichtenstein Editions, by the master printer himself, Gary Lichtenstein. Each artwork is custom hand-framed in Brooklyn, NY in matte black mahogany wood.

The five ‘Above’ orbs are a collection of skies, each a synthesis of CGI and analog mediums. All the images are based off of film panoramic photographs of skies that I captured during the global lockdown in 2020 and continuing into a sabbatical in the Sonoran desert in 2021. Locations of the skies include New York, NY / Tucson, AZ / Toas, NM.

The five ‘Below’ orbs are an exploration of the shadow, each ‘shadow’ is an A.I. generated image created via ‘generative models’ trained off my photographs and films; the majority of which were captured at underground raves from the years 2014-2019.
