October, 2013. Letterpress, suminagashi marbling and pressure printing on Stonehenge Pearl Gray paper, Two elements, 10 ¾  x 14 in. (each). Edition of 30. Diptych inspired by storm-riddled weather data from October 2012 which culminated in Hurricane Sandy, as well as from the artists’ mutual obsession with storms, particularly tornados.

In order to measure the wind, ropes are anchored to eight trees converging in a cube suspended 30 ft above the ground.  Cube shifts as the wind blows and the trees sway.

June 2012 – Tara Cooper

Hotter Than A Two Dollar Pistol, 2013. 3 color hand printed photopolymer etching, 11 x 15 in. Edition of 30 + 3 AP. SPWS recorded record highs throughout June, the most extreme occurring just before 1 am on the 21st, 102.9 °F. Now known as the Historic Heat Wave of 2012, the severity of the summer’s heat is comparable to 1936—the Dust Bowl’s worst. The idiom “Hotter Than A Two Dollar Pistol” originates from a cheaply made 19th century pistol that got extremely hot when fired.

January 2012 – Rena Leinberger

Stepping into the same weather more than once, 2013. Digital offset print, 36 pp book, 7 x 7 in. Edition of 50. A collection of accidental photographs taken unwittingly with the artist’s iPhone. Arranged into an index of travels, the book compresses the time and space of the past year to correspond to the weather on each day of January 2012. This organization is clearly alogical, reflecting the futility of deciphering the erratic patterns of the weather and daily life.
