Never Mind The Bollocks, here's the Sex Pistols........

In 2001 I photographed each of the songs on The Sex pistol's album "Never Mind The Bollocks" and I printed them in the size that related to the length of time of each song. The first song "Holidays In The Sun" clocks in at 3:22 so I printed the photo at 3 3/8 inches and so on......






Later that year I translated the photos to needlepoint and showed the two versions together framed in separate 30 x 24 inch frames




My dealer at the time, Derek Eller, told me that Jack Handy of SNL's "Deep Thoughts" fame enjoyed multiple visits with these works.........




6 Versions of Elige



   In 1998 I was comissioned by Mary Kay cosmetics to create an artwork based on their new scent called Elige. I photographed the scent by pointing my camera at the spot just above the opened bottle and recording the scent visually....... this is what it looked like..

  I had been making Needlepoint versions of these photos of scent and music for a couple of years...
