No, not Kriston "Il Capo" Capps (who's instead Hirshhorning), but the other grammar police... see what I mean hear here... cough, cough.

The Batman in The Batcave... brooding over Robin
Newest piece... heading to Glenn Aber Contemporary Art in NY for the Hamptons art fairs... the work has a 6.5 minute loop of appropriated vintage Batman TV show video focusing on The Batman's relationship with The Boy Wonder.
Update: Thanks to FedEex, this piece arrived to the gallery with a large footprint on the box (packed by FedEx) and busted glass and frame, so it couldn't be exhibited at the fair by my NY dealer... luckily, when I got it back from him, all that it needed was reframing... so it is safe.

New doors for the Library of Congress
This is the culmination of a project that began 9 years ago where the Washington Glass School was tasked with replacing the doors in this most iconic of DC buildings.
The project has been ignored by the DC area media (what else is new?) but the doors were fortunate enough to receive a fantastic 4-page spread in American Craft Magazine, discussing a one-in-a-lifetime project that represents not only some of the best of what the DMV art scene has to offer, but also the perfect balance of craft and architecture.

Red Handed at MFA
RED HANDED
A gallery installation experience by ROSEMARY FEIT COVEY
Rosemary Feit Covey's Red Handed is a complete gallery installation project which combines drawings printed on both hand and commercial printers. The prints are then made into paintings, or left rough on cheap paper. Covey's exploration in media and method has evolved and is comprised of wall-wrapped images and an all-encompassing floor piece - the major part of the installation - which forces the viewer to walk on the art. The image is meant to have no beginning and no end.
Red Handed began as a set of drawings and printed columns during Covey's 2012 residency at Spiro Arts in Utah. The initial drawing appeared as a steam of conscience image. It was at first unclear why red hands kept appearing on her running figures, Covey feels it is connected to guilt.
Referencing Dore, Modigliani and Picasso's Guernica - Red Handed raises issue of collective versus personal guilt.
"Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of the culprit, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing."
-Hannah Arendt
"For all survivors of suicide the question of guilt opens a maw that fills and envelopes adding to the pain, shock and sorrow. A murder has been committed where the murderer can not be blamed. The past becomes the framework for constant reexamination. I had to ask myself - why did this image spring whole from my imagination? I had to wait and allow my thoughts to unearth the past. Guilt is the most personal of emotions and universal only when we take it on ourselves before we look at the rest." -Rosemary Feit Covey
Select collections include the Corcoran Gallery of Art; the New York Public Library Collection of Prints and Drawings; the Papyrus Institute, Cairo, Egypt; the National Library of Australia, Canberra; The National Museum of American History; Georgetown University Library Print Collection; Harvard University Library; and Princeton University Library.
Georgetown University Library currently houses 512 of her wood engravings in their permanent collection. She has an upcoming solo exhibition at the Evergreen Museum at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 2014.
Red Handed marks Covey's third annual exhibition at Morton Fine Art.

Jackie and Marilyn find a home together
Both these pieces are now in the collection of a well-known DMV collector. In my opinion this couple has the largest (I'm talking in the thousand plus) collection of DMV area artists.
