Bid on my photograph 'Caught' in this Auction!

On Wednesday, November 11, my photograph Caught will be available in a silent auction at the Young Friends of Mount Sinai Fall Fete, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting The Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program. The event will take place at the Cabanas in the Maritime Hotel, located in Chelsea at 16th Street and 9th Avenue. Tickets to the event can be purchased here.

The evening will feature cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, music and a silent auction.

About the Visiting Doctors Program:

This year the Young Friends Advisory Board has chosen The Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program to receive the proceeds from this event. Started in 1995 by young physicians who wanted to restore idealism to the care of patients, The Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program has grown into the largest academic home-based primary care program in the nation. The mission of The Visiting Doctors Program is to provide high-quality, patient-centered primary and palliative care to homebound patients in Manhattan, offer emotional support and social services to the families and caregivers of homebound patients, and provide education and experience in home care to medical students, residents and fellows. Currently The Visiting Doctors Program is comprised of thirteen physicians, two nurse practitioners, three social workers, two registered nurses and administrative staff who provide care to over 1,000 homebound patients in Manhattan every year.

Graphic Intersections is complete!

A year in the making, Graphic Intersections is now live. Thanks to the Exposure Project for pulling together a great group of artists for a collaborative adventure. Details on a corresponding exhibition to follow soon!

"Graphic Intersections is a collaborative project loosely based on the old Surrealist and Dadaist game The Exquisite Corpse. Designed to unite disparate artists in an interconnected photographic relay of images inspired by one another, this project strives to emphasize a system of response entirely rooted in unmediated visual reaction.

Graphic Intersections brings together images by:

Ben Alper, Anastasia Cazabon, Thomas Damgaard, Scott Eiden, Grant Ernhart, Jon Feinstein, Elizabeth Fleming, Alan George, Hee Jin Kang, Drew Kelly, Michael Marcelle, Chris Mottalini, Ed Panar, Bradley Peters, Cara Phillips, Noel Rodo-Vankeulen, Irina Rozovsky, Brea Souders, Jane Tam and Grant Willing

I'll have two photographs in the show Creatures Great and Small at Murray State University's Eagle Gallery, which opens next Friday, October 23. It was a nice surprise to discover the work of another artist in the show - Sarah Malakoff (see some examples of her work above).

There will be a catalogue published to correspond - copies can be ordered through the gallery.

Creatures Great and Small

October 23 - December 6

Reception: Friday, October 23, 6 pm

Since human beings have been creating images and objects, animals- both real and fantastic- have endured as compelling subject matter for a variety of reasons. Many contemporary artists use animals to examine a wide range of issues including: spiritual, ethical, social, political, environmental, and personal. This exhibition aims to explore how and why artists depict animals as a way to better understand our selves and our world.

Living Water on Urbanautica

My project Living Water is featured in the Italian publication Urbanautica, created by Steve Bisson and Andrea Filippin. Urbanautica publishes photographic studies that focus on landscapes with a sociological bent. I was happy to share my motivation towards working on Living Water with Urbanautica and to discuss in more detail my approach to the project.
