About Bill's Artist in Residency

For four months, till the end of January 2011, Bill Russell applied his visual journalism skills to his artist-in-residency at Recology San Francisco, the Waste Zero facility that strives to recycle, reduce and re-use. He has posted his drawings of the people who work there, some on-site drawings, videos and weekly blog entries.

I'm at the end of my artist residency at Recology San Francisco. Tonight (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) are the only times you can see the work I produced. I'll be showing the portraits and stories I created for the printed sketchbook called the Recology Sketchbook, as well as prints, process drawings, video and other scavenged artifacts.

Two other artist will be showing work. Ferris Plock has created paintings based on comic book characters and a recent trip to Japan and Suzanne Husky has created 'Sleeper Cells' from scavenged materials.

Artifacts

In my scavenging at the Public Disposal Area of Recology SF, I would find small artifacts that intrigued me enough to create to a faux narrative around it. I drew on them and archived them.
