Zoe at the OCCCA

Zoe's work, '925 Evergreen St.' was selected for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition, "HÔME" at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art!

The opening reception at the OCCCA is at 6pm on Saturday, July 5th.  The exhibition runs from the 5th, through the 26th of July.

The work, '925 Evergreen St.' is a part of Zoe's "Foamless = Homeless" series, which 'create[s] a narrative featuring an ambiguous  coming disaster, which could be natural or man-made.  Homes, and the notions of everyday life are threatened, so a solution is developed and propagated: cover your home in foam.' (ZP, 2014).  

Follow the links for previews to: the full series when it was installed in San Francisco, was featured in SF Art Enthusiast, related images, the "Foamless=Homeless" book, and an early, in-studio snapshot.

But remember to go and see the work in person, at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art!

Preview: selections from Blake's print series in "Lucy's"

My work is being featured in a new Swiss publication, titled Lucy's.  I am not fluent in German, but as I understand it, the article pertains to "the culture of drug use in Switzerland."  We'll have photos of a printed copy later, but here's a low resolution preview of the first two pages for now (the full article features 6 of my prints/ drawings) :
