As much as I love photography, and find it to be a deeply expressive medium, sometimes I like to get tactile.  I’m working on a wood panel 24 x 26″ which conveys an acquired texture of years of paint flaked off and repainted, handbills on top of handbills.  In Asheville you see many telephone poles with decades of staples where people have shared announcements of their concert, coffeehouse, gallery opening, political rally, and stage appearances of all kinds. it is a rich cultural history layering.  Below is a study for my planned work.  In process as I collect handbills, flyers, the ephemera of a creative town.
