Installation
Photos of 3450 Threads are up
A very grateful and sincere thank you to everyone that helped me make this piece a reality, to Philipp for helping me document it, and to all of those who made a special trip to come and see it.

Below are some lesser quality iphone photos that I took along the way.
Last chance to see 3450 Threads
The last day to see “Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Threads” will be Sunday, November 22nd. If you wish to make an appointment, click on the Contact button above and send me a message. I’m available to show it any day between 10:30 – 4:00. Again, ICE Gallery does not have operating hours. If you’d like to see this piece you’ll have to make an appointment.
The above photos are by Philipp Scholz Rittermann. I’ll post the whole set once the show closes. It is the case with most art, but especially with this piece, that a photo is a very poor substitute for seeing it in person. So don’t settle for regret. Come see this thing! I hope to hear from you soon.
A closing reception and some press for Tom Driscoll
It’s not often that San Diego artists get written about for publications or blogs that reach outside of the county. Other than CityBeat, who seems to be the most consistent, local coverage for art in San Diego is rather pitiful. That’s why I was pleased that Robert Pincus decided to make Tom Driscoll the subject of his maiden piece for Artbound. It’s fantastic that Artbound/KCET is making an effort to cover all of southern California, not just LA. We’re small, but there are some interesting things happening down here in SD.
Speaking of interesting art…
Closing reception is this Saturday, May 2nd, from 6-9pm. See you there.
Closing Reception: Philipp Scholz Rittermann
This Friday, February 27th, from 6-9pm is your last chance to see the site conditional photo installation by Philipp Scholz Rittermann. Seeing this piece in person is truly a unique experience. It would be a shame if you didn’t get to see it before it’s gone forever.
Opening Reception: Philipp Scholz Rittermann
It’s great to be in a position to facilitate the opportunity for an artist I respect to exhibit work they wouldn’t normally make. I’ve know for many years now that Philipp Scholz Rittermann is an exceptional photographer with an impeccable eye for detail. As would be expected, being a photographer, Philipp is used to making flat work. However, I had a feeling that he was itching to take his work off the wall and into a more three dimensional realm. I had no idea what to expect when I asked him to take a shot at making a site specific piece for ICE Gallery, but I trusted that he could come up with something interesting.
Please join us Friday January 9th from 6-9pm and participate in an immersive site conditional photographic installation.
Opening Reception – Edith Baumann
Edith Baumann has been making paintings in Los Angeles for over 30 years. However, this time around she’s created an elegant site specific installation that perfectly capitalizes on the unique character of the space.
We’d love to see you on Friday, 10/3, from 6pm-9pm.
Christina Hendershaw – Opening Reception
Taking full advantage of the 16′ tall walls at ICE, Christina has created a fantastic site specific wall drawing.
We’d love to see you Saturday evening, 8/23, from 5pm – 9pm.
New work by Thomas DeMello
This is a piece that so perfectly personifies Thomas’ aesthetic. Rough, dirty, rustic. He’s got a great eye for materials or objects that most people would see as garbage, or at the very least wouldn’t look twice at. Old thread-worn packing blankets for example:
Or perhaps a bunch of rotting railroad ties:
And now it’s these:
You’ve probably seen these everywhere and not even noticed. As I said, In my opinion that’s Thomas’ main strength as an artist. His natural instinct to see the aesthetic value in objects and materials that are ignored by most.
“Ive been looking into tumble weeds.” – Thomas DeMello
