Computer Drawings

These are works which Sands types into Word documents and then photographs and that image is the main work. One is for example “I AM EVEN BETTER THAN YOU THINK I AM”. Started probably around 2010 and done whenever Sands feels like it. They exist as documents on the computer and also as printed photos made to give away. – SMW.

  • Reflection Notes

“These are indeed my earliest works that I have documents of. I had some even earlier works that are with my parents in Topeka, Kansas. A lot of this digitized work is there too. It’s mainly from the period at Pratt Institute, also when Carolee Schneemann was my teacher. It was a super hard period, but out of it came this for me diamond like work. Some of these bleed into time at the Rietveld Academie and De Ateliers in the very first four months I was there and into 1995. I still count these works as being very foundational to what I do and who I am. When I sell from this period the work is more expensive than work I am making now.” – SMW.
