OutAuction!

Starlight, 2010
My piece Starlight will be auctioned off at GLAAD's OUTAuction on November 20th!

From their website, http://www.glaad.org/outauction:

"The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) invites you to the 10th Annual OUTAuction presented by Bud Light and ROKK Vodka! Join us for the 10th anniversary of the largest and most visible art auction event in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community celebrating established and emerging artists as well as recognizing GLAAD’s Top 100 Artists and our OUT in Art Award recipient.

OUTauction helps raise funds to support GLAAD’s work with the media to bring culture-changing stories of LGBT people to millions of homes and workplaces every day in an effort to increase understanding and awareness to build support for full equality. This will be an evening capturing the perfect synergy between art, fashion and interior design. Guests will enjoy hosted cocktails, great music, and gourmet hors d’oeuvres while bidding on over 100 unique pieces of art which have included the works of Pablo Picasso, Herb Ritts, Steven Klein, Ryan McGinness, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and many more!  "

I'm so happy to be supporting such a great cause!

Uncle William Series

Uncle William

Palo Duro Canyon

William (Close Up)

The Uncle William series is based on black and white photos taken by my father of my Uncle Willy in the rural 1970's Texas countryside.  My uncle has Down Syndrome, and happens to be the most cheerful and  content person I know.  However, he can appear radically different and almost frightening to outsiders,  especially when dressed in his cowboy attire. This series uses contrasting light and dark to examine these polar opposites.  Obfuscating shadows and defining lights confuse and clarify the subject, casting doubt on first impressions.
