Routes



This is the cover I did for the sixth Hotel X cd "Routes Music", released in 1996 on SST Records. I think this collage was about 24x24, completed in 1995. I had found an old geography book half destroyed in a garbage can, so made good use of the images that were still intact. I made alot of collages during this period. Joeseph Cornell was a great inspiration.

Ladders




Above is the 1994 cover art I did for the fouth Hotel X cd "Ladders" released on SST Records. The cover appeared in full color in Option Magazine along with a favorable review of the cd. The original is about 24x30, watercolor and ink. I still own it. The ladder is an icon I have come to use a number of times. I probably did this particular piece in 1993.
