About

I am an intermedia artist living and working in eastern Washington state. I grew up in Ohio where I had a short career as a recording artist before returning to the visual arts. My visual art now makes use of a diverse background in web design, music and painting to make works that are part-painting and part-new media installations. I also continue to write songs that balance acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Read more…

As though something is going on over there! I guess something happened over to the left that made everybody happy! Except my sister is cross-eyed, so she can't quite pull it off. One eye is right-on.” -Mitch Hedberg ⠀ ⠀ I think of Mitch whenever I am sitting for a photo and looking to the left. Got to see him in Dayton, OH a couple times before he died. ⠀ ⠀ --⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #itme #portrait #artist #landscapepainting #contemporaryart #artcollector #attentioneconomy #photography #forest #oilpainting #artexhibition #myart #joehedges #mitchhedberg
Instagram post 2184358641020991368_12536678 Augmented Selfie Stick, 2019 ⁠⠀ selfie stick, graphite pencil, mirror, foam, painter's tape, binder clip ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In 2020 I’m hoping to travel somewhere and set up a participatory exhibition using a bunch of these selfie sticks and newsprint pads. After shipping big crates full of complicated work around, I kinda want to do something that's quick to install and straightforward. I tried this here in Pullman for our Palouse Performance Week and the "selfies" people made were really charming and fun. I also had heart-shaped stickers so others could "like" the drawings. ⁠Swipe for @meidrawsgirls giving it a try. ⁠⠀ --⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #selfies #selfie #contemporaryart #installationview #mirror #babysfirstselfie #drawing #graphitedrawing #attentioneconomy #whoownsthefuture #mediaart #artandtechnology #artandtech #newmediaart #artexhibition #objectorientedontology #myart #mediaarcheology #joehedges #augmented #analog #selfportrait
Instagram post 2183003451223198504_12536678 I made twenty or so of these small boxes with found objects and instructions for @frontierspace gallery in Montana for a solo show last year. My work was like a big urban train map for several years, with two or three main lines snaking around the city of my mind. when I really think about it, my work now connects a lot of different things I was tinkering with over the years, among them an interest in a combinatorial approach, in working modularly, in found objects and the relations between them. Although I am making oil paintings and new media and whatever else, in a way I sometimes still think of myself as a digital photographer—in the end everything you do gets disseminated as a digital image. These pieces are in part about the tension between digital imaging and objects. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ --⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #actant #semiotics #actornetworktheory #brunolatour #constructivism #contemporaryart #installationview #artcollector #artexhibition #objectorientedontology #myart #mediaarcheology #joehedges
Instagram post 2179416153416020275_12536678 Install shots from a show currently at Artworks in Loveland, Colorado. The show is up until December 18. Send your friends! I love this cool clean industrial space and was so happy to show here. There are artist studios as well as the galleries. It was great meeting some other artists and people from the community at the talk and opening. ⁠⠀ --⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #hypercombines #landscapepainting #contemporaryart #installationview #artcollector #attentioneconomy #whoownsthefuture #mediaart #artandtechnology #artandtech #newmediaart #oilpainting #artexhibition #objectorientedontology #myart #mediaarcheology #joehedges #lovelandcolorado #artgallery #vinylesticker #customvinyl #itme #mywork
Instagram post 2177829411546441602_12536678 This is my son Linus and I at my recent show in Loveland, CO. It was tough picking from many many recent insanely cute photos of him. He is a pretty chill baby and likes meeting new people and seeing new places. He loves all my favorite things--looking at art, listening to music and @jiemeilin! ⁠(@meidrawsgirls). In his six months he’s probably been to more art events than most people attend in a lifetime. Do you know any babies with artist parents? ⁠ #宝宝 #中国人#亚洲 #白人#fatherhood #parenthood #baby #cutebaby #cutestbaby #brows #eyebrows #artdad #artmom #artistdad #artistmom #艺术家 #父母 #爸爸 #很可爱 #眼睛很大
Instagram post 2175091490951063586_12536678 Every time I do an exhibition I try and augment or create a piece or small installation using objects found in the area where I'm showing. For this piece there wasn't an outlet nearby this section of wall, but I wanted to do something that was in conversation with the rest of the work, using technology and ideas of nature. At an antique store just a couple blocks from the gallery I found this great battery operated atomic clock, a fifty-year old level (that still works!) and a vintage postcard. On my way back to the gallery to figure out how to put them together I also noticed a gem store with these blue quartz stones. I expect this clock to still be running accurate within a few tens of quadrillionths of a second when I return for deinstall. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ --⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #landscape #seagulls #contemporaryart #installationview #artcollector #attentioneconomy #mediaart #artandtechnology #artandtech #newmediaart #postcard #vintagepostcard #artexhibition #objectorientedontology #myart #mediaarcheology #joehedges
Instagram post 2165762910895119161_12536678 this is from a test install from the spring. after a lot of planning, painting, cutting and tinkering, when I first plugged everything in it was like Christmas. I made some larger pieces more recently but but seeing this image now of the small ones together makes me think I should keep making a bunch of them at this size (also cheaper to ship! 😅) ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ --⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #landscapepainting #contemporaryart #iphone #smartphones #dumbpaintings #dumbphones #smartpaintings #installationview #artcollector #attentioneconomy #whoownsthefuture #mediaart #artandtechnology #artandtech #newmediaart #oilpainting #artexhibition #artandecology #objectorientedontology #myart #mediaarcheology #joehedges #theinternetofthings #oilpainting
