This is interesting: this print was just delivered as a loan to The Museum of Sex in NYC for their exhibition on rubbers, on view Dec 1st through April, I believe.

This is a new series that I’m titling artifacts (no, changed my mind) Remnants for the time being.   The idea behind these is correlated to NYC Journal.  While out shooting on the street I’d become interested in, well, garbage I guess.

I might end up being in the shadow of Penn and his “cigarette butts,” but I aim, probably superciliously, to climb upon his shoulders.

We’ll see.
