#FOUNDDHC

A few months ago, I made a bunch of 4x6 prints to help me choose what images to put in my show, Quality Time.  Now that the show is about to be installed and opening this Friday, I no longer need them. Instead of shoving them in the trash, I thought I could do a little fun project with them.

I'll be leaving prints in random places in Lansing, Chicago, San Francisco, Taipei, Manila and other places for as long as they last.  

If you find one, be sure to tweet or instagram it and tag it #FOUNDDHC so I can see it too!

New Guest Artist Poster: "AFTER LIFE/AFTER PARTY" by OLA ~ ONDA

I am so excited to announce DHC Shop's newest guest artists and DHC Person's good friends: OLA ~ ONDA.

Lilian Martinez of BFGF and Daniel McKee is one of the world’s cutest and smartest creative teams. Currently based out of Cincinnati,  their photography work is a culmination of their skills in other areas of artmaking and their fascination with the great mysteries of the world such as death, outerspace, and relationships. Also --------- snacks!

"AFTER LIFE/AFTER PARTY" turns a macabre subject on its head, making it fun and positive. By giving it silky duds with lovely little bursts of light pastel colors, this ghost is ready to get down.

This is DHC Shop's first poster printed in COLOR !!

HOME • VISIT : Doug Johnston + Tomoe Matsuoka

Having written about Doug Johnston and Tomoe Matsuoka's work, and shot their studio in this early Studio Visit, as well as waxing poetic about what they do just in everyday life, I won't say too much about it again in this post. But as sort of magical and interesting as their studio is, their home is a lovely, quieter, airier extension of that. 

I had the pleasure of house sitting for them last October while DH & I were in Brooklyn and they were traveling in Asia. Without any sort of plans on doing this little tour, I woke up in the morning to find nice little shafts of light everywhere in the apartment. What was I to do but start taking pictures? In the end, I had this nice little collection of pictures documenting their home, and tidbits of their life together.

I love how this visit came out. Its a bit more intimate than the others. Just a quiet morning at Doug & Tomoe's house.

New Moss Poster

During an early spring evening hike up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, I happened upon blankets of reindeer moss. My only other experience with this moss was at an exhibition by Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson at the MCA, where he had installed live reindeer moss on an entire wall of the gallery and the viewer can watch (or not watch) as the moss naturally & slowly changed color, feel it warm the air of the gallery and smell its earthy fragrance. 

And for some reason, I thought this beautiful plant only existed in the magical land of Iceland, so you can imagine my surprise when I came upon so much of it during my nature walk. As striking as it was to see a whole wall blanketed with nothing but reindeer moss, I also loved how, in nature, its cloud-like forms burst through old forest debris. Now you too can have your own reindeer moss wall. On white paper and blue paper to accentuate the low, glowing evening light in the forest.
