Documentation of the destruction of unsold copy of “Submission Fee No. 1" (burned) and the block (gouged)

This woodcut was the first step in this new project. From August 31, 2019-August 30, 2020 I am creating a woodcut of the submission fee for an artist's opportunity. The fee must be for application only, meaning that if a submission is not accepted, the applicant receives no benefit - just a lost investment.

NOTES: Four copies of this print were created. One Artist Proof has been archived (NFS), two were sold (revenue less than $35. so no application was submitted), and the remaining copy was destroyed as documented here.

Submission Fee No. 1
7.5 x 11.5 inches
Woodcut, three layer reduction
Edition of 4
Price: Pay what you want by September 3rd, 2019

This woodcut is the first step in a year-long conceptual art piece titled SUBMIT. From August 31, 2019-August 30, 2020 I will create a woodcut depicting the required fee, or price tag, for submission to an artist's opportunity that I would likely apply for if there were no fee. The fee must be for application only, meaning that if a submission is not accepted, the applicant receives no benefit. They have simply lost a small investment.

I will post all of the price tag woodcuts for sale on my social media accounts at least three days before the deadline for the opportunity associated with the fee. These woodcuts will be "pay what you want", and if I earn enough from a particular print to cover the cost of the submission fee by the deadline, I will submit an application.

Opportunity: international call for artists in a group exhibition “The Human Figure”

Whose HOO Around the World (Summer Fellowship)

Owls, owls, everywhere! The last week of June I had a wonderful time doing a fellowship for the Community Art Center's Summer Spree camp. 

This year's camp theme was WIDE WORLD. Having created a whole series of linocut prints of owls, I decided to put owls at the center of my project. 

Each group of campers were assigned a list of owls particular to one region of the world. They heard folktales from cultures in that part of the world and then made relief prints of owl species from that region. We printed the owls on cloth banners and hung them all around the children's garden. So much fun! 

This was my 2nd year doing a summer fellowship at CAC. My first was last year: Big Relief!
