“Performing the archive” workshop with Angeliki Avgitidou
To see supporting documentation Please click the link above.
This photograph is the open to “Indian as Archive”.
A depiction of objects organized that becomes alimentary to artist archive.
This photograph stands as my artistic representation of understanding, as I show historical parts organized, documented with the critical information via tags, and displayed on a holder.
The viewer can obtain a written hand out, from the display that lists the piece, via part number, cross referencing all pertinent information such as: date, manufacture, contact and application.
This hand out is not represented in a narrative but does contain the element of time due to the subject matter and relevance.
The integral small parts belong to antique Indian Motorcycles and are never really noticed, because they support the actual overall motorcycle function many times not visible unless one is building an Indian motorcycle. This exposes some intricate hidden levels behind an American passion of riding motorcycles and supports a new awareness in industrial production of making for function to the viewer.
Indian is an American brand of motorcycles originally produced from 1901 to 1953 in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. Hendee Manufacturing Company initially produced the motorcycles, but the name was changed to the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company in 1928. (1)
I have photographed the display board intentionally with the sky, fence, walls, grass and parking lot as the background metaphors.
In processing the photograph, I intentionally took artistic liberty to alter the background implying historical difficulties the Indian motorcycle company endured and the unseen territories of perception, creating a currency of technology into the current world.
This is also a cross road for me to be able to expand the project into American Indians Artifacts.

The work shown above is where I chose 3 random pages from December 1957 Life Magazine. I chose to rip the sentences out for the shapes and not read the pages as instructed by Burroughs in a YouTube interview he gave. I greatly enjoyed the feel of the texture of the paper and the way in which it ripped.
Ironic- one of Ripped definitions is “under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs”. Merriam–Webster, dictionary. Burroughs is iconic for his open dialog in being ripped.

“Artistic Research in the Era of Globalization” workshop with Danny Butt
I have been combining research into sculpture using history with recycled materials for over a two decades. Globalization became an awareness for me through the tragedy of 911- New York City. I created 2 large public sculptures that speak around that event, political agendas and the human fraction.
