Going back to September 2012, here are images from the two-person exhibition Return: Ryan Feeny and Amy Sacksteder at the University of Dayton’s Gallery 249. Both Ryan and I attended UD for undergraduate school and we were thus curated into Return by current painting professor Jeffrey Cortland Jones.

Showing with Ryan was a really great experience. His work in the show was photo and paper-based. Note that all local images of work shown here are pieces of mine.  Individual images of my work can be seen on my website in the albums recent paintings, last map and recent objects & installations.

Here’s a link to the previous 2012 Exhibition Images blog entry: To Arrive Where We Started at 2739 Edwin.

Small collages from Berlin: blue and white tape, silver leaf, ink, gouache and magazine collage on assorted papers.

Due to the aforementioned issues with resizing images on WordPress, I have been remiss in adding installation images from my solo and two-person exhibitions throughout the fall 2012 and winter 2013. I’ll make up for that, beginning with installation images from the two-person exhibition To Arrive Where We Started with Essen, Germany-based photographer Fiona Short at 2739 Edwin in August-September 2012. My only regret is that I didn’t get better images of the entire show and of Fiona’s work, which was really stellar.

Images of individual pieces are all up on my website.

It’s been a while since I posted since I was on strike from WordPress until they worked out their image resize issues. Thankfully it looks like that day has come and I can share what I’ve been up to lately. I’m currently at the Takt Residency in Berlin for the months of May and June. I’m making some new drawings and experimenting a bit in the studio, and generally loving being in this fantastic city.

New work will be featured in the upcoming two-person exhibition SightSee: Colin Blakely and Amy Sacksteder at the Ann Arbor Art Center in August and September. I hope to post images from recent exhibitions in the near future.

Mark and I were just in Reno for two weeks making and installing all the work for my current solo exhibition Will Have Been at the University of Nevada, Reno via a Gallery-as-Studio Residency. Many students an gallery staff were involved in the installation process. We met so many great people while there. Here are some images of the show being installed. Many thanks to all who helped out!

My good friend Fiona Short traveled from New Zealand via Glasgow where she is currently based to spend two and a half weeks with us preparing for our upcoming two-person show To Arrive Where We Started at 2739Edwin in Hamtramck in Detroit. We’ve been enjoying working steadily in the studio together in anticipation of the show.
