meanwhile back in the studio

I re hung the coffee cups so they could mingle with the related rust print and maybe give me some ideas
so I have been letting the plastic piece slowly consume my coffee cup collection and in the background i have been reorganizing the rust prints to create new groupings for future shows.
these are some nifty new coffee cup lids i liberated from a gas station in Tennessee. I really think they would make a great large scale public playground piece. the lids have a built in flap that makes a perfect connective system for chaining them together with other lids

so i started building the second half of this piece, and this will probably go with me to vermont studio center when i go on the 25th. Although I said i was taking this with me to the ox-bow residency, but this time i am 99% certain i want to finish it in vermont
i am master of my domain, a rat and roach infested domain, but master none the less.

so i got back in the studio and worked on some of the stuff in there. I have been agonizing over a decision and sometimes working in the studio helps clear my mind. To make matters worse tomorrow is my 31st birthday and I don’t feel like i should be this old. I still haven’t prepped for the print class i am teaching at redux on monday, but i think if i spend saturday and or sunday and focus i can prep all my demos and materials ahead of time. Unfortunately the moment i finish teaching at redux i have to hit the road and male tracks to vermont for my residency there. Oh well I guess when you get as old as i am you type things out so you don’t forget them.
