The Rooftop Beekeeper


















I just received my advance copy of 'The Rooftop Beekeeper: A Scrappy Guide to Keeping Urban Honeybees' which features my photographs. I started working on this project with my beekeeper and author friend Meg Paska back in 2011. It has been a long and enjoyable journey during which I have made many new friends and I am proud to finally see it in print. It is is published by Chronicle Books and now available to buy on Amazon.com.

Organic Heirloom Tomatoes


















These late season organic heirloom tomatoes were grown in Brooklyn. On the left and right are examples of the Purple Calabash (Solanum lycopersicum). An open pollinated variety which is believed to have originated in Mexico and has a rich, almost wine-like flavor. In the middle is the Green Zebra tomato. It was developed in the 1980s by tomato breeder Tom Wagner in Everett, Washington and is actually the result of combining four different heirloom varieties.

Wider than a postcard




































Wider than a postcard

A group exhibition curated by Sven Davis

2 May – 1 June 2013
“It is not easy writing
someone a postcard.
The size and shape
of the card cut you
down to size…”
—Ron Padgett ‘Postcard’
For pre-sales or press inquiries, please email Paige Prendergast, paige@breezeblockgallery.com

May 2013: Portland, Oregon is the location for Wider than a postcard, the latest curatorial collaboration between Arrested Motion’s Sven Davis and Breeze Block Gallery. Over 200 artists have been invited to produce up to 3 works each based on the traditional postcard format. The surface can be an antique postcard – either from a thrift store or maybe even from the family archive, a new shop-bought card or a home-made postcard on each artists chosen medium to the 6×4 inch size limit imposed. Each postcard can either start as a blank canvas or the new composition can be woven into the existing image on the card. The artworks are to be displayed in a grid formation to create an holistic installation of more than 400 individual artworks. The postcards must come from, and be named thus, a current or past place of residence and the thematic subtext is based loosely around place and belonging. The exhibition will also serve as a comparative survey of how artists interpret the same brief, giving a unique insight into the varying creative processes of each participant.
