This Philadelphia-based artist's current piece at PS 1 "Soda Pop Painting No. 2" caught my attention but it wasn't until I realized it was soda on the floor of the gallery that I became really intrigued. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The bright and dark colors covered more then half of the gallery floor in a totally random pattern. The thick consistency of the medium (thanks to Vaseline, I think) made me nauseous in a good way and all I could think of was high fructose syrup and cavities. The best color was yellow, which totally threw me, but which I'm now convinced was Mountain Dew - it was great.
His website only links to 14 of his works - but they leave me wanting more of both his photographs as well as his beautiful, detailed and slightly disturbing sculptures.
