This installation is part of a larger movement of artists, “Art On The Edge Of The Abyss” a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention that will investigate extractive industry in all of its forms (from mining and drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources) instigated by Peter Koch (Codex) and Edwin Dobb. The project will expose and interrogate extraction’s negative social and environmental consequences, from the damage done to people, especially indigenous and disenfranchised communities, to ravaged landscapes and poisoned water to climate change and its many troubling implications.
Featured here will be the installation & performance*

by judi goldberg AND Brooke Holve
A collaboration and conversation
between two artists
with different approaches and aesthetic
working with what is.
* To be held on Sunday, November 7 at 1:30pm
Source Material and Evidence of Process
features an installation by two artists, Brooke Holve and Catherine Richardson.
The exhibit opens at the Seager Gray Gallery in MIll Valley on July 1 and will be on view till the end of July. The opening reception is on July 10th with a conversation by the artists at 3:00 followed by a reception from 4 - 6.
I have been collaborating with Catherine Richardson on this topic of extraction for over two years. The installation will look at the global impact of our much coveted cell phones on the environment. Digging deep into the components of a cell phone, the artists reveal connections between its “smartness,” the mining industries and humans’ relationship with the earth.

An eventful reception last weekend at the Morris Graves Art Museum in Eureka. Following are a few views from the evening. The exhibit will be up through July 3, 2016.
My statement read:
"Artist, Brooke Holve contemplates the poetics of seeing in Cuts Make You., an exhibition of mixed media constructions, installations and an artist book. Her work reflects an exploration of 'cutting' as process and form as she cuts to see and cuts to make. She is interested in how to apply process to a material and arrive to a form that refers back to its making. The work is informed by the changing role of the book as the world moves to primarily digital delivery systems. Discarded book remnants are the dominant material of this work."
I am honored to present a solo exhibition of my work,
Cuts Make You.
at the Morris Graves Museum in Eureka, California.
It will feature installations, constructions and artist books
with a soundscape by musician, Paul Lamb.
Please join me at the opening reception on

'Bed' is a charged word; its root, bhedh, means to dig.
A Bed of Verbs, 2014. A collaboration with artist, Elizabeth Sher. To be shown for its first time at Codex V at the Craneway Pavillion in Richmond, February 8th - 12th.
A Bed of Verbs, 2014. Artist Book with Clamshell: digital prints on Moab Entrada 190 and metal coated papers. 5.25 x 9.75 x 1 inches (closed clamshell box)
I travelled to Iceland with artist, Elizabeth Sher for an artist residency during the summer of 2012. We were awed by what we saw; the geologic wonders and phantasmal forms gave us a glimpse of what the earth might have been like in its beginnings. Iceland was a "land of the verb" with underground rumblings randomly spewing out steam, lava and rocks through pockets in the earth.
A land of forces not seen with verbs to describe it: bhedh, burns, chills, churns, coils, cracks, crusts, cuts, erupts, oozes, pads, posts, roots, scalds, scrape, spews, sprays, steams

The installation, mtlaugwalkcuts was inspired by a walk that I took to the summit of Mt. Laugarvatn in Iceland. I recorded the shapes of the walk with a GPS device and then printed out into 23 sections. The line sections influenced the contours of the constructions. More images of the individual works can be found on my website on the third page of mixed media/ constructions.
During the exhibition at RiskPress, I hosted poetry walks in and outside of the gallery and recorded their shapes with a GPS device. We chanted the words, "walking like reading like cutting like..." while looking at the artwork on the walls. Words appeared and found their place on the concrete floor of the gallery. These words and more may find another place as I continue this work with cuttings.
Other words that surfaced but didn't appear on the floors but may appear elsewhere in the future are:
multiple lines, icey undulations, cold empty, sequential, serial striations, slivers and slices, shafts and shifts, gray-day shuns, uninterrupted, light of rain, shimmering ground, curves, edges, distillation, energy, music, enigmatic void, an architecture of color, meandering texts, gun metal striations, white ice open, the architecture of a cut, cuts squared, grounded sticks and stones, graphite lines go by, waves, piano keys, subtle shifts, tracking, folding, bird perches,....
