Have a Part - Not the Whole

Installation work can be the most compelling and exciting thing to see in a gallery - the way that it encompasses the space, creates an environment and dominates your surroundings with one life-size idea...

In this age of gluttony and super size, there seems to be a need to want the installation in its entirety.

For the current installation, as was the case in 2005 when I also showed Pete Goldlust and Julie Hughes - each component can be purchased individually.

Upon noting this to a visitor, he remarked, "Yeah, but I would want the whole thing."
(operative word being 'would')
Well, that can be arranged too - each cluster or grouping has one price that equals the total of all the pieces.
"Yeah, but I don't have a good space for the whole thing."
(operative word being 'but')
That's OK - just get one element to accomodate your space....

Come enjoy the show, see it as a whole, see it in its parts, imagine yourself as an art collector.
(Which is something to be totally proud of.)

"I work for Border's as a sales clerk and I'm an art collector."
"I work in the entertainment industry as a docent for a film lot and I am an art collector."
"I work for the city of Los Angeles parks and recreation department and I am an art collector."
"I am a graphic designer and an art collector."
"I am an attorney and an art collector."
"I am a professor at a major university and an art collector."

Imagine...Imagine...

You don't need a lot - of anything. Think about it.
You only need a little bit of art at a time, all the time.
Art collector...imagine.
