Michael Koehle's "Overcast Jingletown" is made up of hundreds of laser-cut strips of paper. Each strip is printed with a gradient and cut to match the grayscale at the corresponding point in the source image. They are then folded and glued to a panel; the accumulated visual material echoes the masses of water vapor needed to form clouds.

Michael Koehle received his BA in Art Practice at UC Berkeley, his MS in Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis, and his MFA in studio art from Mills College. He has received residency grants from the Headlands Center for the Arts, Autodesk Pier 9, and Djerassi. He is also the recipient of the general prize in the YouFab Global Creative Awards in Japan and the Murphy & Cadogan fellowship. Koehle lives and works in Oakland.
