Icarus Also Flew

Currently on view at the Coalition Gallery

If you have a chance, I invite you to come see one of my pieces from the Beware of Jet series in person. The 60x40" print is part of the the Pine Feather Period group show at the Chicago Artists' Coalition Gallery in the West Loop (217 N Carpenter to be exact). The show was currated by Jeff Ward and will be up until January 13, 2012. More info is available on their website. 

Recommended Viewing: Anna Di Prospero

I just came across Anna Di Prospero's work on Photo Donuts and highly recommend you check out her work. Her latest self-portraits juxtapose our humanity against the urban environments we've created. The work is bold, and she treats the subject with a freshness and formal originality that I don't frequently see. I'm willing to bet that her Flickr stream is well worth your time. 

Psyche by Connie Miller

My friend and colleague Connie Miller has embarked on an ambitious and fascinating month-long art-making marathon. She has produced some remarkable work so far and it is well worth careful contemplation. However, on day 23 she produced three images titled Psyche which you must see. Check them out here and then go on to view the rest of her month long journey.

I recommend viewing her poignant project: "The Shower Series."
