I’m looking forward to taking my latex color painting to the next level: the landscapes of New Mexico. First on the list will be the volcanoes of the petroglyph national monument, to the west of Albuquerque and visible from just about every point in the city. Next will be the Sandia mountain horizon, to the east, and a much more prominent landform of Albuquerque, and can even be seen in some of the films coming out of the area (*cough Beerfest *cough). I’m also looking forward to going to the Acoma reservation and painting some of their incredible, timeless rocks. I have recently added a new color to the 6-color palette, a cool, glossy, deep blue that I believe to be the newest missing ingredient to this body of work.

To collect as many solicitation "credit cards" as possible.

The predatory nature of credit card lending is evident only to those of us who it has burned before. Furthermore, a measure of “too much” credit has been extended to consumers, leaving our economy in the mess where it now exists. Credit cards are dually both a symbol of wealth and a symbol of need, both a symbol of stature and a symbol of weakness. I am motivated to create sculptural objects out of credit cards that present both the positive and negative sides of credit and the credit system for mutual observation. I have already collected hundreds of “credit cards” from solicitation letters and I need your help to collect thousands more.

Save your card solicitation credit cards! Put them in a pile, and send them to me at Chroma Studios. I am especially interested in the American Express Clear/Blue “Your Name Here” cards, which you’ll recognize if you get them.
