Art Show at the Unitarian Universalist Church

February 28 - April 30th, 2010

Reception Sunday, February 28th

Eighteen large framed prints of images selected from my portfolios. The series titled Signs of Dysfunction, Ineffable Spaces and Curious Surfaces are represented. Seen printed large, these photos convey a richer, more engaging experience than they can when seen smaller on a web page.

Copies of my book Signs of Dysfunction will also be available for perusal during the run of the show.

Local Photographers at West Main Coffee Depot

Reception & Book Signing Saturday, March 6, 1-3PM

Stop in at West Main Coffee Depot in Christiansburg to see the work of by 3 local photographers: Mike Miller, Bob Abraham and myself.

My contribution includes 15 large framed prints of favorite beach scenes, rural & rustic subjects, and dysfunctional signs. You'll also find a selection of smaller prints matted to fit a standard 12x16 frame.

Plan to visit, sip a warming coffee drink, and enjoy this free art show.

Book: Signs of Dysfunction

Blank, redacted, broken, rusted, misspelled - dysfunctional signs prominently declare nothing, proclaim nonsense, or subvert the sign-maker's purpose. Only by zeroing in on signs without ostensible meanings can we really see their underlying messages, information our subconscious minds have always gathered beneath our notice.
