ship shape

i have started to studio again and it is lovely.
i have been getting really excited about the shape language that ive been using in my drawings and some of the pieces i made this past year. i want to continue exploring their symbol and object potential and to see if i can find that place between drawing and sculpture, flat space and real space.


 wood shapes with primer
 shapes on chain on wall: charms!


 rope, rope, rope, round and round and round

p is for pea

anthony and i attempted our first vegetable garden this summer. the rabbits set us back earlier in the spring and then the spinach went a little crazy but, the pea plants held their own and now there are a few little snap peas that have made their way into the world. i was beginning to feel like our garden was a lost cause which now feels only partially true. i suppose though that we will leave final judgements until the carrots and beets are ready.
menu tonight: something something with a side of two organic, freshly-picked, locally-grown, rabbit-kissed, free-range, bpa-free, and er, green, sugar snap peas

collab-fab

here are some (rather poor quality) photos of the show that chinn and i worked collaboratively on and at long last installed at the overture center on friday. we had lots of wonderful helpers and really, the whole experience has been the greatest way to follow up grad school and mfa show hoop-la.
it feels like the perfect synthesis of chinn and i.
the show is titled "direct object"and is up until the middle of september. it is one large piece consisting of multiple images of objects strung together to compose a sort of run-on sentence. some highlights are: chopped meat, a big lion door knocker, coral galore, and a cuckoo clock. oh, and gems!
i will get better photos up soon and then you will see.

first things first

i am no longer putting off till tomorrow what i can do today. i have been talking about making a blog and so now i am doing it. i am going to post images of things arty and foody and pretty and funny. i mean what else is one to do after three years of graduate school? get, like, a job or something?

in keeping with todays theme,  i am going to make some kind of dish with the ridiculous amount of kohlrabi that has been haunting the refridgerator for a week. the great cook-down of 2011 as anthony says. and now, since, i have typed this out, it has to happen. words make things real and true.
so get ready kohlrabi...
