A fractal/generative artwork, Lightworking will be provided to WeCAN, at The Doubting Thomas Gallery in Tremont.  This group show echoes the CAN Triennial by featuring artworks refused by their cutorial team. Count me out but count me in! Actually, Lightworking wasn’t submitted to the CAN Triennial, but WeCAN curatorJohn Saile saw it, and had an empty lightbox, so, back to the Doubting Thomas Gallery I go for a second appearance in the group show of refuseniks.

Dringwiya Chorus is installed in the Heights Arts Member’s Show. In addition, the artwork has been selected by a Cleveland poet to respond to in an upcoming installment of the ongoing series Ekphrastacy. Because my late twin brother Timothy Calhoun was a prominent poet, I am deeply touched by this selection.

Three years ago I provided over 125 5×5” single edition prints for a pop-up exhibit at Article, Waterloo Art District. This summer this affordable art concept will be rolled out again, this time featuring 5×5/8×8/12×12 prints and small studio proofs. The pricing between $15-$150 is part of the point of the show. My art is accessible, is for all ages, and so it is always a lot of fun to add or jump start people’s collections.
