This is an installation of many of my woodcuts from prints done over the last ten years here in San Francisco. It features among other things, Tatiana the Tiger, my sweetheart Damon, a leafy sea dragon from the Cal academy, our man Tony Vadakan with the city skyline, Scrabbel mastermind Dan Lee, Moggs, 1 year anniversary poster for Mods V Rockers at the Make-out Room, 4 of the yearly zodiac blocks...
It is viewable in the conference room of a new home design space for Aldea, at Valencia and 20th in the mission and will be open to the public starting October 19th. Go in and say hello to it. It is ten years in the making. It probably has a big crush on you...

Aldea Home is thrilled to present its first curated exhibition in conjunction with the launch of its new 7000 sq ft home store at 890 Valencia street. Ten artists were chosen and carefully situated within fully staged rooms in order to showcase ambitious art in ideal domestic spaces. Artworks range from Dana Hemenway's "Wall Covering" installation of artificial leaves functioning as uncanny wallpaper to Katie Shapiro's evocative photographs of California landscapes, to Site Rupe's paint and silkscreen "Dick and Jane" style icons. Many of the artists use serial processes to achieve unique results such as Leah Rosenberg's stripe and layer cake paintings, Owen Schuh's mathematically derived designs, or Mark Golamco's rubbings of an Islamic pattern to create a modern basket form. Along with editioned prints, Nathalie Roland shares an installation of original woodcuts from ten years of printmaking. Jessica Skloven's elegant photographs of Icelandic water flows contrasts excitingly with bold striped wallpaper. Liz Koerner's luminous walnut and sand cast glass piece and Courtney Price's cut collages and hardwood sculptures relate to their occupations as designers and resonate with the furniture and objects in the store. In this way the artworks interact poignantly with a context similar to how art lives in actual homes. We hope to inspire our patrons to collect unique art pieces alongside home furnishings and design accents.
