Columbia College, off the wall.

I have really been enjoying securing and tensioning the sleeve sculpture with the braided cable and ferrules. I remember the first time I used the braided cable in Norman in 2009, and I was so focused on using it that I kind of missed its most beautiful properties. I like that when used to pull and suspend the sleeves the cable takes on a very straight line quality. I look forward to exploiting the cabling and sleeves in future installations. For now I need to focus on having some fun with my remaining days here. I had been really excited to get the first pass of the nine panel sleeve print up and now that it is I want to proceed with printing 3 sections at a time and seeing if I can systematically build up and rearrange the pattern. Today the last of the rust prints were put in place by the gallery elves and their fearless leader. I haven’t ever had the chance or the right venue to bring these two works together, but when I began playing more with the sleeves in Grand Rapids and Richmond last year, I was reminded more of the process and imagery that I liked in the rust prints. Now I can see that better and look forward to people getting a chance to move through this work and this space.
