The adjacent gallery is a revolving catalog of images taken from the Western Style Market. The Western Style Market is part of the ongoing Ante Project titled Western Style. This Market is a framing of the endless stream of image culture that purports to provide paradise. The captions are taken from a variety of western style interior decorating manuals.
The images in the Western Style Market are manipulated through a process of hand dying. This process utilizes various opacities of CMYK colors and is part of the larger project which explores how the science of color developed and utilized to create and disseminate large volumes of inexpensive and accurate imagery is itself a much older metaphysical system. It is this system that has evolved to become Western Style.A periodic spotlight on a past published work worth rereading.
As an artist I am often asked: Where does your money come from?
