John Dahlsen, environmental artist and contemporary painter
http://www.johndahlsen.com/
"The initial collection of these objects, consisted of approximately 80 jumbo garden bags full of beach found litter. I first piled this collection up in my studio and soon realized the potential of a giant palette. Then I began the selections of yellow coloured plastics to make up it’s own pile in the studio, then the red, then the blues, the rope & strings, the plastic coke bottles, the thongs etc. Soon the floor of the studio did resemble a giant painters palate.

Seeing all this develop had the effect of sewing the seed, for I later had the notion of making assemblages of each of these objects once it was all sorted.
This occurred to me as a natural extension of the process I was undergoing in the studio as a painter. A whole new palette of colour and shape revealing itself to me immediately affected me; I had never seen such hues and forms before, all which enabled me to make new environmental art."

Carrack Modern Art exhibit space in Durham, NC
http://durhamsculpture.org/carrack/
The Carrack Modern Art is an art exhibit space located at 111 west Parrish Street in the heart of Downtown Durham (click here for a map). The space operates solely off donations and is a free, zero-commission exhibit space for artists to take over and have solo shows, or group shows if that is their choice. The trade off is that the shows must be short, typically two weeks, and artists need to organize their own reception, parties etc… read more below!
GALLERY HOURS:2-8pm Tuesday through Friday
and every third Friday 7pm – 10pm
contact laura@thecarrack.org or john@durhamsculpture.org

a/part of new work... 3
in gathering the moss from an old riverside industrial area along the Cape Fear River I used three guiding rules in foraging plant life; ask the plants guidance to gather at the site, gather less than 20% of a plant colonies' population and give thanks.
blend:
1 cu moss w/dirt
1 cu og yogurt
1 tbsp hemp seed protein
1/4 water
next step is waiting to see the moss grow!........

a/part of new work... 2
Here I've duct taped the section where the moss garden will set on the the panel and drilled holes. The holes are to anchor the white glue I'm using to adhere the bed of brick and mortar.
I used a stone chisel and hammer to break down an old brick with mortar attached. I worked the surface within the taped area with the wet adhesive, being sure that the glue went down into the holes and creating an 1/8" bedding of adhesive to set the brick/mortar in. The cracks between I filled with the dust and smaller pieces of brick/mortar into the wet adhesive. Once the adhesive dries I'll remove any loose materials, and hopefully that won't be the whole pane as I'm really experimenting here...
