6 Feet Apart @ Transmission

Transmission Gallery San Francisco
35 Bartlett St., San Francisco, CA 94110 (map)
Fridays – Sundays, 1-6 pm (viewable 24/7)

February 17 – March 26 — EXTENDED TO APRIL 9, 2023
Opening Reception: Sunday, February 19
Closing Reception: Saturday, March 25

 

I will present a grid of 6 Feet Apart images as a window installation at this wonderful gallery near my studio in the Mission. The installation includes a large banner and a series of smaller images on the sidewalk, outside the window display, and trailing up and down the street. In the gallery are framed and unframed prints. Also a limited edition sticker set.

There will be 2 other concurrent solo shows in the gallery: Lynn Beldner and Steve Briscoe. Next door is the work of Jerry Barrish.

The gallery writes “On the one hand they are visually compelling abstract elements, on the other, stark reminders of the anxiety and anguish that led to their ubiquitous placement around the city. While the intensity at the height of the pandemic period had a tremendous impact on our collective experience, these markers remain as evidence and yet fade into routine and unremarked elements, easily dismissed as one traverses the city, now at times bumping shoulders with passersby along the street.”

Installation at Transmission Gallery, SF, 2023

NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Open: 4/18-5/17, 2026

Burn Line is a meditation on loss, resilience, and transformation in the wake of California’s wildfires. 

Using a process I call Pyrotype, photographic images are CNC-engraved into wood and then transformed through controlled burning into solid charcoal. Each piece becomes both image and relic—a fusion of photography, sculpture, and memory—objects literally forged by fire, embodying how trauma alters what remains.

I created these pieces in collaboration with fire survivors. Together we looked at photographs of objects they lost in the fires. Then we worked together to tell a story about what was meaningful and what was lost. 

Alongside these collaborations, I also include my own black-and-white photographs of the fire’s aftermath, reflecting on destruction and renewal through my own lens.

JÖTÖSHIKI
(ROOF-RAISING CEREMONY)
上棟式
A traditional Japanese ceremony held after a building’s framework is complete.
It expresses gratitude to those who built it, shows respect for the land, and prays for the safety, stability, and well-being of the people who will live and gather there.
This ofuda (paper talisman) from a local shrine is placed within the structure as a blessing-inviting protection and harmony as the home’s life begins.

REBUILDING WITH CARE
In the wake of fire, rebuilding is more than construction-it is a return.
Jötöshiki reminds us that every structure begins with respect for the land and hope for a safe future.
This exhibition space, too, is a temporary frame for healing— a place to honor what was lost, and to imagine what can grow.

I was so glad to include a few ritual elements in my installation.

ABOUT JOTOSHIKI EMI
Also called jotosai, this roof-raising ceremony celebrates the completion of a building’s framework. It gives thanks, honors the land, and prays for the building’s safety and the well-being of all who will dwell within.

My solo exhibition in Kyoto ends this weekend. If you’re in town, you’re invited to come check it out - open 11 to 5 daily. Check out the video tour on my YouTube channel-I made tours of a handful of other exhibitions in the festival. While you’re at the hotel, check out the wonderful bakery in the lobby, my favorite item was the Matcha white chocolate scone. @cicon_by_nohgahotel @nohgahotel.kiyomizu @kgplus @gojo_plus
