No Fishing Signs
2010-2011
Paint on cardboard

Each No Fishing Sign is painted on found cardboard, using discarded house paint and leftover studio materials. Many of these paintings feature text, often in black ink or white conté, that articulate a variety of prohibitions. No fishing. No hunting. No BBQ. No nicknames. No majesty. Sometimes these prohibitions are crossed out or painted over. Sometimes they are left as clear, bold statements.

These paintings can be hung individually or shingled en masse in a dense installation.
