Works on Paper:
- Composition:
Ink wash with pastel, conte, charcoal, nupastel, etc. on Lenox 100 (acid
free) paper.
- Work
is not sprayed or fixed in any way.
- Fixing
or spraying will ruin the work.
- If
framed, they should be framed behind glass, not plexi, to avoid damage
by static.
- Glass
should give UV protection to resist any opportunity of fading.
-
Drawings may be exhibited gallery or salon style if framed.
- Drawings
should be exhibited salon style if not framed.
- There
are pinpoint holes in each corner of the drawings where pins should
be placed.
- Large
paintings on paper must be exhibited as intended: They need at least
a 12ft. high wall and they should drape onto the floor.
Paintings:
- Composition: Oil on canvas with a coat of a gamsol/galkyd/wax/mineral spirits as
a sealer.
- Canvases can be suspended from the top of the wall or can be hung directly on
the wall.
- Paintings were meant to be viewed in relationship to human scale. The eye level
of an average height viewer should meet the top half of the painting.
Monoliths:
- Composition:
Oil on Luan ¾ inch ply, thread, fabric, rope, hardware
(some antique).
- Red
Monolith needs to have its blue thread redone every time it is shown.
- Taut
thread in the blue and yellow/green Monoliths can not be touched!
- Fabric
in brown Monolith can be moved and draped on whim, within reason.
- These
pieces need to be shown on a relatively level floor.
- They
are not weighted on the bottom.
Mixed
Media:
- These
pieces are made out of wood panels, ethernet cable and acrylic paint.
Installations:
- Composition:
Thread and various hardware bits, depending on project.
-
Installations are site specific.
- Because
they are my newest pieces, they are highly experimental on my part.
- Once
they are done they can't be touched for the duration of their exhibition.
- During
an exhibition, the piece will change should the hardware shift or the
thread relaxes.
Why kimba.com?
kimba
was a nickname given to me by a very dear friend in art school in the
70s. It originated with the 'kimba the white lion' cartoon that played
on American TV every afternoon after school in the 60s, right after 'Dark
Shadows' and right before 'Speed Racer'. But it is also the combination
of my first name and middle initial. kimba soon became a term of endearment
to me which only my good good friends were allowed to call me by.
In
1995 I grabbed www.kimba.com when the internet really started to open
up to the public, back in the day when there were only about 6,000 domains
registered on the net. Little did I know at the time that I would then
become kimba to the world.
No
longer a term of endearment (except for when special people use it :)
most people around me don't even know my full name.
