Postulating Positions was installed in the Laverne Krause Gallery at the
University of Oregon in January 2004. It included three pieces, Fill in
the Blank, Urban Lyricist, and Cityscape. Fill in the Blank, came out
of a series of posters that could be applied to public message board that
would allow people passing by to engage in a public discourse about the
current state of our government. The next phase included a wall painting,
and interface that allowed you to enter in your own comments, and view
the opinions of other people. Cityscape is a four by four foot collage
constructed from plywood, acrylic paint and magazine clippings, that by
itself took on this cityscape as if your were looking up among the sky
scrapers of an urban downtown, constructed of advertisements. Urban Lyricistis
a series of letterpressed posters printed from linoleum blocks, and wood
type. This series is my homage to street art and street poetics, while
exploring the darker side of the political heavily depicted in street
art at this time.
