Throwback Thursday,

Tape intall across from Video Bar, Dallas Deep Ellum circa 1985.

I used to be called tapeman,

sort of an homage to David Hockney,

New Works, P4TS series

 

P4ST aka Prototype for the Stereotype,
started/invented 20 years back,
 I've finally revisited the 3-D Rorschach concept again 
with a flux based interactive user friendly work. 
Two variations of the same piece,
Each unit handcut out of red drafting mat. 
Flattened (not transmogrified) is 8" x 10
I came across this material that was about to be trashed 
while helping a friend who was the gallery manager at 
Leo Castelli Gallery, NYC.  
I was lucky enough to be invited 
to help do inventory just before Leo's death 
about 5 years later in 1999. 
I Almost saved an $80 check with his actual signature 
but was so broke at the time I couldn't afford it.
