This is a screen shot from the film, Pale Flower (1964), by Masahiro Shinoda. It is available in instant view on Netflix, however, Criterion is releasing it soon. The speedometer is in kph, so they’re only going about 60 mph.
The purpose of this posting is that this is a perfect dashboard display for me as the two things I have been thinking about is gas and water. This is such a simple and clear display.

I went to Sunol, CA to see the Sunol Water Temple that was built by the Spring Valley Water Company in 1910 and later owned by the San Francisco Water District as it is today. The structure was built to enhance the companies profile as a public utilities. I am planning a body of work that looks at the conservation, use, and removal of water, and thought this was a good place to start.

I am close to completing a painting based off a model of a typical bus shelter. It is oil on canvas, 12.75 by 22.75 inches inches (two square feet in area).

I found some loose slides (the analog days) the other day. Among them was the repro. for this painting I finished in 2000. It is 34 by 43 cm, oil on canvas as I recall. I started it in 1996 and work on it on a regular basis—painting a layer and sanding it down—until 2000. Although I have worked on many paintings for over a year, I worked on this one the longest. I think I titled it Auto-Pilot as there is no one in the plane.
My exhibition at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects ends on Saturday.
no title, oil on panel, 8 by 19 inches, 2011.
This is my most recent painting; it is destined (virtually) for the VIP Art Fair.
