Based on the Tabernacle of the Linaioli by Fra Angelico. My surviving children replace the disciples surrounded by the worldly goods that link them to time, memory or legends to their brother. A note about materials: This is on vinyl. For a while "gas Theory" circulated as a possible cause for so called SIDS deaths. Vinyl was identified as a possible culprit of the off gassing. I am still hashing out how by hanging the drawing on a 'Step Repeat' frame serves the work, I'm taking a nod (or a jab) at selfie culture. I am looking at the way we as a culture view historical art as something to photographed in front of...     Collaborators 'under painting' printed on vinyl by American Sign, Los Angeles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775819202-4U964PTJGU01JN7XMO0Y/72_tabernaclesketch.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Sketch for Tabernacle of the grieving Sisters, 2016, India ink and Conte on Paper, 50"x60" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1507571476652-GSSZ2ZO2VX70LVH4EA21/houseiphone.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - House, 2016, acrylic gloss and gel medium/ tinted gesso/ India Ink, 60"x34.5" To be hung with 'Children' triptych. Uses the same 'm' tagging motif as in "children". The 'm' motif is a visual representation of the all encompassing aspect of grief like an invisible tagger, marring and mark all on its path. As I push this motif, I am thinking about how the work could evolve in the vein of Cicely Brown, where a drawing can be representational and abstracted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496776475606-39LMIWX4WDKREUN50NCS/72_thechildrenHK.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Children: Dorothy, Erling, Loïs, 2016 India ink, acrylic medium, gesso on paper, 60" x84" Part 1 Children:Dorothy This started simply: two portraits of my surviving children standing in a doorway or house and an empty house for the child who died. After I initially completed the portraits, these three drawings sat pinned to the studio wall for about two months, staring at me as I started and finished other works. They were not accurate representations somehow. They were too clean, too pretty, too proper. How does one depict the pervasive of grief that gets in everything and covers everything one sees? My adopted city of Los Angeles often has the answers, and here it came through gang tagging sprayed across murals. The grief is like that invisible kid with a spray can zipping through the city, impossible to catch, popping up again and again where least expected. I began to tag the work using india ink to tint gesso, acrylic gel and gloss medium. I did not use any pre-mixed black paint. The "m" tag, like grief, repeats and repeats saying “I am gone now, but I was here." Invisible, ever present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775826930-1JSYIUQF22T55P0W5ZHS/72_thechildrenEMK.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Children: Dorothy, Erling, Loïs, 2016 India ink, acrylic medium, gesso on paper, 60" x84" Part 2 Children: Munro https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496776552643-OYFUISLYQWUFBHJL74XM/72_thechildrenLAK.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Children: Dorothy, Erling, Loïs, 2016 India ink, acrylic medium, gesso on paper, 60" x84" Part 3 Children: Loïs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1497155764124-3YDF0UV42TRPG4X05XEL/forest+for+the+trees.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - forest for the trees, 2016, ink/charcoal/ graphite/ acrylic medium on canvas, 62"x 84" I realize this is an outlier within this body of work, but this drawing (made in late summer 2016) was a test kitchen of sorts for the mixing of inks with clear acrylic mediums that lead to the 'm' tags in the "Children" triptych and the capability to work with ink on vinyl instead of paper. By using india ink, water soluble charcoal, and water soluble graphite mixed with clear acrylic medium and clear gesso instead of black acrylic paint I achieve a translucency and layering not typical in the non-octopus ink drawings I made previously. Thematically, I have worked with dead trees in the past. I have a deep tie to the physical world from my experience growing up in Alaska. This image is based on scores of drawing made from life of the spruce beetle kill of millions of trees on the Kenai Peninsula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775779339-3OP36QULN6LWV6QDWQ40/72_Aldersleepingcropped.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Alder Sleeping, While They Sleep, 2016 India ink on Paper, 90”x59.9” Landscape of the Mundane. This series started in the two years following the death of my son when I made a pastime of watching my children sleep. The original sketch made from life, this is documentation of the vigil I kept while my remaining children partook in the much needed activity responsible for my son's death. Unlike Robert Longo's sleeping children that are trying to stop time, this series was born out of a need to keep watch, a diligent eye while the children slept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496780006017-V3FH85DI5HR0LR3LPLS6/lakandwgkiphone.JPG portfolio 2016/17 - Father and Child on the Drought Stricken Banks of Lake Cachuma, 2016, india ink/ marker on paper, 50"x60" Taken from a 5”x5” watercolor live sketch from my daily drawing practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775803738-54METB1W11H9JW6P8PM8/72_HKdancingcropped.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Harper Turning Four, 2016, India Ink, charcoal, conte on paper, 60"x82" “She turned four the day before he died. We knew we couldn't cancel her birthday party, so it went a head as planned. Our community swept in and threw it for her. Her favorite gift she received was a yellow princess dress. It was the only thing she wore for the better part of the year that followed." My figural work is influenced by my undergraduate studies in Dance, specifically, the academic study of Butoh, where dancers explore similar themes of the child and loss. Concerns with the spiral, memory and the archetype of the child were at the fore front my mind during this drawing. I can also count Bill T Jones/ Arnie Zane, Pina Bauch, and Merce Cunningham as my influencers. Here the dancing child is depicted larger than life size, like a memory or dream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775954602-0D4FT8UXJLXMIXR8D57B/DSC06049.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - Alder on the Stairs, 2015, india ink, graphite, charcoal and conte on paper mounted on canvas, 83"x61" My figural work is influenced by my undergraduate studies in Dance, specifically, the academic study of Butoh, where dancers explore similar themes of the child and loss. Concerns with the spiral, memory and the archetype of the child were at the forefront of my mind during this drawing. The scale is also of note: this drawing is a more than life size representation of the child depicted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775907098-MGSMYXC0AWMU9IBF9AQV/DSC06059.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - While They Sleep, 2015, Octopus Ink On Rag Paper, 24"x 21" Evocative of the Victorian post-mortem photographs, the “While They Sleep…” series is based on scores of sketches done in the two years following my son’s death when I made a pastime of supervising my sleeping children. The materials play an imperative role. The indelible octopus ink is layered wash upon wash to build a living surface, rich in pattern and tone. The rag paper is a greedy surface, but is evocative in size and texture to a flannel baby blanket. Though this work is figurative, it is also a Landscape of the Mundane. Interesting to note, the tones present in the ink are variable based on the diet of the individual octopus. After the shrimp population crashed in the 1970s, all of the ink pulled from Kachemak Bay has been cooler in tone. In the past 5 years the shrimp population is making a come back leading to a warmer, more red tone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496775923343-OH7W5GCZEMCXSWO96WYZ/DSC06062.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - While They Sleep 2, 2015, Octopus Ink On Rag Paper, 24"x21" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496776133599-7MPNK63TVMSBR6LVRFHJ/ucla_10thtrimester.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - The 10th Trimester (self portrait from life), 2013, pen on paper, 12"x16" From my daily drawing practice.

Drawn 3 months after his death, here my son lies in repose wrapped in the blanket donated to our family by Cedars Sinai ER so we could "take home his smell". After I completed painting the funerary box in August of 2012, I was concerned I would not be able to return to my drawing and painting practice. As Victorian and romantic as it sounded to have the last thing I painted be my son's casket, I was determined for that not to happen. This drawing was the first completed drawing examining bereavement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1496776146279-BYVR0MTVF5XDQ3E4JEU5/ucla_alittlecompany.jpg portfolio 2016/17 - A Little Company, 2012, Acrylic/Felt-tipped Pen on Cardboard Funerary Box, 30"x16'x12" In lieu of satin coffin trimming, I depicted my son's basinet.

Expressing breast milk is an invisible, uncomfortable, and time consuming act. Part 3: Missed Call Part 4: Is He Breathing/Is He Gone?The text came through. He'd been taken via ambulance to a hospital, but which one? I got there finally. And because it's LA, I threw my key to the valet at the ER. I was greeted by woman who said Are you Mom?

Inspired by cinematic storyboards first, and the visual language of the graphic novel second, I attempt to tell the story visually. Initially, I considered using the billboard as the format for telling the story. Inspired by the Ripley Scroll I choose this format of viewing for its intimacy. Like the Ripley Scroll, I am considering making multiples. This was my first completed drawing on printed vinyl. Vinyl as a surface is interesting and appropriate for a scroll that will be touched again and again. The material is ideal for its durability. A few years ago vinyl was investigated as a contributor to "Gas Theory," a possible culprit of SIDS... The story of my son's life drawn on surface that may have contributed to his death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988256757-LMWME30K26XBVKTI8JBW/stages+2.jpg portfolio 2018 - Stages 2, from Memory 2000: Cossitt Studio 2017, 22"x29.75" Charcoal, Pen, Graphite, Ink on Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988373040-1YDH93610CEICI3XNNCC/02171063-0020-445c-91de-fff0f50bc4f3.550x220-1.jpg portfolio 2018 - dead baby club/ memory box, (folio) Video 2016 Video: Cardboard, tissue, silk, octopus ink, cotton rag paper, cotton tether. 11"x 13.5"x3.5" Additional Details In Dead Baby Club/Memory Box, an ongoing project examining Grief and Art Practice, I have replicated the work of four twentieth century artists. The works on rag paper are meant to be touched. Though rag paper is a greedy surface for working in octopus ink, the texture and softness of the paper is evocative of flannel baby blankets hung to dry. The cumulative grief of Alice Neel, Kathe Kolliwitz, Frida Kahlo, Stella Haase and my own work hide together under a tether. It’s there to be opened and closed by anyone willing to witness and share the weight. Though emotional, it is not precious. It is meant to be touched wth bare hands, meant to show the wear tear, to be peeked at in a stolen moment at the kitchen table, when no one else is looking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988264339-HJNKJDB1OR8WAPGTPPOK/dbc_still_2017.jpg portfolio 2018 - dead baby club/ memory box, (folio) 2015-2017, 11"x 13.5"x3.5" with 8 - 10" x 10.25" drawings, Octopus Ink/Rag paper/Cardboard box/Silk/Cotton Tether Additional Details These drawings are based on pre-existing work. They are small, meant to be held in you hands. Rag paper is a terrible choice for octopus ink because it's greedy, sucking up the ink on my brush almost before it touches the page, but its texture resembles a baby's blanket after it has dried on the clothesline. The octopus ink is completely indelible once it dries on paper: a substance meant to be ephemeral transforms to something so permanent: After Kathe Kolliwitz, After Futility of Effort by Alice Neel, After Munro/So You Can Take Home His Smell (drawing made by me two months after the death of my son), After Henry Ford Hospital Detroit by Frida Kahlo, After Sarcophagus 1- document of funerary box painted for my son's cremation.

Based on the Tabernacle of the Linaioli by Fra Angelico. My surviving children replace the disciples surrounded by the worldly goods that link them to time, memory, or legends of their brother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988487239-WGW2DAEQ2JFT8EWMGVNG/72_thechildren1-3.jpg portfolio 2018 - Children: Dorothy, Erling, Loïs 2016, 60" x84", India ink, acrylic medium, gesso on paper Additional details This started simply: portraits of my two surviving children standing in houses, and an empty house for the child who died. After I completed these drawings, they sat pinned to the studio wall for months, staring at me as I started and finished other works. They were not accurate representations somehow. They were too clean, too pretty, too proper. How does one depict the pervasive of grief that gets in everything and covers everything one sees? My adopted city of Los Angeles often has the answers, and here it came through gang tags sprayed across murals. The grief is like that invisible kid with a spray can zipping through the city, impossible to catch, popping up again and again where least expected. I began to tag the work using india ink to tint gesso, acrylic gel, and gloss medium. I used no pre-mixed black paint. The "m" tag, like grief, repeats and repeats saying “I am gone now, but I was here." Invisible, ever present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988494051-E5JCUUJ8NI4KPRL98FIQ/stages+5.jpg portfolio 2018 - stages 5 From Memory: West Anchorage Auditorium 2017 Charcoal, Pen on Paper, 22"x29.75" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988561314-3E5S6N3FERRB0QWD54QS/72_AlderontheStairs.jpg portfolio 2018 - Alder on the Stairs 2015, 83"x61",india ink/graphite/charcoal/conte on paper mounted on canvas Additional Details My figural work is influenced by my undergraduate studies in Dance, specifically, the academic study of Butoh, where dancers explore similar themes of the child and loss. Concerns with the spiral, memory, and the archetype of the child were at the forefront my mind when doing this drawing. The scale is also of note: this drawing it is a more than life size representation of the child depicted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988573651-8FKPHFR9SWJ7SR2BDFSE/72_Aldersleepingcropped.jpg portfolio 2018 - Alder Sleeping, While They Sleep 2016, 90”x59.9”, India ink on Paper Additional Details Landscape of the Mundane. This series started in the two years following the death of my son, when I made a pastime of watching my children sleep. The original sketch made from life, this is documentation of the vigil I kept while my remaining children slept, the seemingly mundane activity responsible for my son's death. Unlike Robert Longo's sleeping children that are trying to stop time, this series was born out of a need to keep watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988589106-60CZDHXAZNZT6GG0BY3O/stages+6+.jpg portfolio 2018 - stages 6 From Memory 2002: Palmer Hall Charcoal, Pen on Paper, 22"x29.75" 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988676103-040UID9OSIN7PRZB0YFP/72_WhileTheySleep.jpg portfolio 2018 - While They Sleep 2015, 24"x 21",Octopus Ink On Rag Paper Additional Details Evocative of the Victorian post-mortem photographs, the “While They Sleep…” series is based on scores of sketches done in the two years following my son’s death when I made a pastime of supervising my sleeping children. The materials play an imperative role. The indelible octopus ink is layered wash upon wash to build a living surface, rich in pattern and tone. The rag paper is a greedy surface, but is evocative in size and texture to a flannel baby blanket. Though this work is figurative, it is also a Landscape of the Mundane. Interesting to note, the tones present in the ink are variable based on the diet of the individual octopus. After the shrimp population crashed in the 1970s, all of the ink pulled from Kachemak Bay has been cooler in tone. In the past five years the shrimp population has been making a comeback, leading to a warmer, more red tone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988690819-8JIYER6NXK9XDP1FE66O/72_WhileTheySleep2octopusink+on+rag+paper.jpg portfolio 2018 - While They Sleep 2 2015, 24"x21",Octopus Ink On Rag Paper Additional details From Landscape of the Mundane. All octopus ink used in this portfolio was collected catch and release in Alaska. It is a process that requires a very low tide, a quiet step, a hypodermic needle, and a fair amount of guts. The ink is an incredibly dense substance. so dense in fact it will pull water from your brush. These drawing were each made with less than a half teaspoon of ink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988704021-OW91SYHINC3ZZTMYIPKA/stages+7.jpg portfolio 2018 - stages 7 From Memory 1997: Paladio's Teatro Additional details Charcoal, Pen on Paper, 22"x29.75" 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1512988723018-R4J57NYYM1Y0KMYLQ9V1/72_Munro-pastel.jpg portfolio 2018 - Baby John Doe 8/14/2012, 2012, 12"x16", Pastel and Crayon on Cardboard Additional details Drawn from memory. Drawn three months after his death, here my son lies in repose wrapped in the blanket donated to our family by Cedars Sinai ER so we could "take home his smell." After I completed painting the funerary box in August of 2012, I was concerned I would not be able to return to my drawing and painting practice. As Victorian and romantic as it sounded to have the last thing I painted be my son's casket, I was determined for that not to happen. This drawing was the first completed drawing examining bereavement. This piece lead to "Dead Baby Club/ Memory Box" and "Life and Death of Erling Munro." http://www.alexisrobertskeiner.com/my-sisters-couch-interior-landscapes daily 0.75 2017-12-05 http://www.alexisrobertskeiner.com/while-they-sleep daily 0.75 2018-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56067e2ce4b06b221ba0b155/1515717777282-NWV2J1VFZ8DJM0HFGLO1/whiletheysleep2018.jpg While They Sleep -

President: Archive from the Dead Baby Club 2012- 2019: 2021. Shortly after the death of my son in 2012, I became a hub for other bereaved families and their communities. I assemble what I called “Grief Teams,” helping families through the first few days, weeks, months after the death of a child. I advise on meal trains, fundraising, how to interview the modern mortician, and the details of caring for the dead like which morticians and funeral homes in Los Angeles or North Carolina will let you be present for the cremation of your child and why that is valuable. I facilitate the family adornments of caskets. I’ve drawn dying children in hospice and their families. A conversation with a friend about my early actions in the community lead to a moment of gallows humor and the moniker de-facto “President of Dead Baby Club.” This has stuck. This work is a direct result of this social practice. Here is a fully functioning archive staged in the imagined National Headquarters of Dead Baby Club, USA. Every aspect of this grief can be touched, read, smelled. At its most simple, this archive explores the before and the after: here were our families before our children died and here we are after. Here is a physical object that existed before my son died and here it is after. Yet what is captured in “Nice to Meet You..”. is less linear. The boxes hold Polaroids, letters between the recently bereaved, small drawings, numerous book projects derived from my social practice, photographs of my partner and I before and after our son’s death.The impact of the piece is dependent on the viewer’s personal experience with grief and willingness to participate with each object; opening the box, the rolodex, the blanket, the books. The most provocative piece within the archive is a text piece encapsulated in a rolodex with an alphabetized account of the experiences of the president of Dead Baby Club. This includes the text from What Not to Say: Volume 1, a 2017 comic book accounting horrible things said by well-meaning folk. This diagram delineates the archive reimagined for the age of Covid and social distancing. Originally conceived as a 1980s era office complete with ringing landline, and then for an install as a 8’x4’x4’ u-shaped cubicle, this pandemic iteration allows for a safer interaction. And at this point, safety is vital to the work. It prevents an individual from joining 2.16 million dead from COVID-19: 4,101 of whom died in the US just yesterday (1/27/2021, New York Times). I think of these families must grieve at a distance of at least six feet, unable to touch their dead, or hold their loved ones. And then what? How do we possibly make visible the grief? How do we possibly connect while avoiding contagion maintaining physical distance from the living as we attempt to comfort the loss? The Pandemic Install: As the act of riffling through each object is limited due to social distance measures, the contents of each item will be projected above the desk using digital video and a slide projector. The viewer gets a guided tour of each object within the archive. A live-stream of the install will allow access to the piece and will be punctuated by the sounds of the slide carousel, the landline, the spin of the rolodex, the vibration of the phone. I considered youtube, facebook/ig live, and discord for the livestream, but settled on a zoom link as the zoom meeting is the Site of our Time. With cameras on, each viewer will be viewed by others as the meeting/viewing is taking place. I am attracted to the voyeurism of the archive as each participant is as visible as the live stream itself. In the event of in-person interaction, the installation continues to be streamed implicating each live viewer into the digital space mimicking the fish bowl of grief. -A.R.
