BLAKE CARTER | GERMS

Been copying photographs using grids and concentrating on the components of the image as if they were abstract forms; sounds fancy but really it’s the same thing we did in high school art class for a collaborative, cafeteria wall-sized portrait of Jim Morrison. Of course it’s been done and done again (see Chuck Close, Malcom Morley), but it is fun. I’d planned to use these images of John Cage (from a YouTube video) as an underpainting for something a little looser, but they were snatched from my easel and printed in the program for an upcoming performance of Cage’s Song Books.
