Joe's Temper
The
Joe’s Temper
series is based on a 1939 comic-strip style advertisement for Soft-Weve Waldorf brand toilet paper found in a romance magazine. This saga of spousal abuse and dysfunctional relationship healed through brand preference was first the basis of a series of improvised vocal compositions by the text-sound group Rainbow Chug Bandits, which eventually evolved into Mannlicher Carcano. A large number of JT works followed, including collages, prints, performances (including a collaborative chamber music piece with the group Gnu Music), a self-published zine, the curation of a JT themed group show, and numerous paintings, including

and the modular, infinitely self-replenishing installation painting pictured at left,
