O Lucky Man!, LE Gallery, November 2010 (Part 5)

Biathlon, hand-cut paper, 3 layers, 19x25 inches, 2010
(I made this piece while watching the biathlon during the Olympics. This piece was a tribute to the recent death of Jay Reatard, combined with the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe, as both were targets in a frigid world.)

Unknown Uncle, hand-cut paper, 3 layers, 19x25 inches, 2009
(This piece is based on a photograph from my grandfather's photo album. It is a family portrait with my grandparents, my father, my aunt, and two uncles. I never met my youngest uncle, pictured here as a laughing pre-teen, as he was randomly stabbed in his youth and died in my father's arms.)
