ok, so, here’s another post about a particular series and some of the composition that goes into it. These installation / process photos & videos are all from the latest installation of Reflected Projections Projecting Reflections that was up last week at Two Ponds, March 25-26, 6-8pm in Mechanicville, NY. A big thank you to my friends Natalie & Shawn who co-run Two Ponds and provided a beautiful and engaging place for this installation to flourish.

And a shout out to previous collaborators / gallerys / institutions that have exhibited this work:
@halseymckaygallery
@atlantacontemporary
@northoptical
@traceymorgangallery

And now the program notes:
Reflected Projections Projecting Reflections is a modular kinetic light installation. Composed of a slide projector, mirrors and transparency slides of screen material cut down from the scraps of large geometric abstractions, as well as photographs of interstates. These images are then amplified via the slide projector mounted to one wall and a mirrors on the wall opposite the projector – reflecting images back to the source of their projection. The slides are on an endless loop. The self timer is usually synchronized to change slides based on the average interval at which we blink our eyes. Sometimes when the room is nervous the slides will be made to blink more rapidly.

materials and their composition:
a room or structure with at least two planes that are parallel and congruent.
a 35mm slide projector is mounted onto a wall- with the lens facing the opposite wall.

the slide projector is turned on.

mirrors are installed on the opposite wall of the projector- covering the area of projected light as precisely as possible.
the projection is focused onto the wall where it is projecting from, i.e. the plane opposite the wall of mirrors.
the self timer on the slide projector is turned on.
the slides are now on an endless loop for the duration of the time agreed upon.

content:
anybody physically present between or near the two planes of the installation.

summary:
the projections are reflected back from the mirrors onto the plane of the projector. the image plane and projector plane become one.

Details for my modular light installation up for 2 days, 2 hours at a time, at Two Ponds. All are welcome. I’ll be there. And as Raymond Carver wrote- call if you need me.
Huge thank you to Shawn & Natalie for being generous, gracious and all around amazing people to work with on this fun pop up thing. See you Wednesday at sunset.

From sketching, to sculpting, to your holiday sets. Upstate New York artist + ceramicist Natalie Herrera is the visionary behind the limited edition artwork that encompasses our seasonal collection. Natalie drew inspiration from the gestures of folding and wrapping, hand-shaping wide ribbons of clay into this year’s holiday motif—an homage to all the ways we’re connected.

Our hearts are full (and our bodies are tired) from an epic @upstateartweekend 💛

It’s too much to summarize but THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see William Stone’s exhibition! Also, CONGRATS to our dear friend April on opening the doors to her beautiful new Kingston space, Wild Minded, and to our buds at Say Collie on their rad new project The Mud Barn!

We’re surrounded by such an amazing and supportive cohort of artists and creative entrepreneurs in the Hudson Valley and there’s no other place we’d rather be.
