What’s now characterized as a ‘San Francisco Bay Area tradition”, the annual Box Show at Gallery Route One in Pt. Reyes Station, has been running for 23 (!) years. I believe Molly and I have participated in about the last 20 of those (maybe more).
Each year we receive a pine box of some shape or another (this year it came in disassembled pieces) to do with as we see fit. Most boxes go to individual artists. In our case, we work on them as a team. Some years they look more like Molly’s work, other years, more like mine.
Here’s what we did this time around:
I did sketches of an idea we talked about--U / Dys Topia
Drawn directly on the wood (like this one) or transferred from a rough sketch on paper. Then inked by me.
Painted by Molly.
Both the Dystopian
and Utopian sides.
And the central Utopian panel
With the upper and lower Dystopian panels.
We assembled the pieces and screwed them together with metal plates on the reverse.
“U / Dys Topia” in the show.
The 2022 Box Show runs until August 20th.
