Late July 2014, Don Russell, Provisions Research Center for Art and Social Change director, invited me join several others for his "Art as Research" show (above) which became part of a larger, parallel exhibit opening a week later in Eureka, California, (below) under the title, "Graphic Alchemy – LTX3".

Introduction to Low Tide work made with hi-res inkjet prints, by Bug Press, on 2 foot wide strips of 5 mil / 32 lb Epson Singleweight Matte paper, hung thoughout the street-level space, floor to ceiling. Each of these main 2x15 foot strips contain six figures reproducing a page or page-spread from a collected document — or objects. The fourth figure from the top of each strip is the focus aligned with others focus images in a horizontal array from strip to strip. The space was lit nightly on a stretch of Highway 101 that becomes 5th Street, in Eureka.

An accordion book, a total of 60 feet each side, by one and a half feet high, containing the first fifty "objects" in the Low Tide collection comprised of fifty or fewer "images," each arranged within a single page-spread. This object index draft is the first research towards an art of digital to analog production. Accompanying the book were eighteen foam-core mounted spreads from its pages. The work debuted at Humboldt Baykeeper for its August Arts Alive show along with Baykeeper's house band, Kenny Ray and the Mighty Rove's.
