Pawn Shop
Rosco Louie Gallery, Seattle, WA
1979
This was my first solo show. We turned the Rosco Louie Gallery into a virtual pawnshop, where I made each and every item in it. Prominently featured was a series of non-functional guitars that I had been making. A lot of this show was color xerox, laminated to wood and cardboard, making 3D prints of everyday objects.
