    this turbine was somewhere in oklahoma, which is about the first time we saw clouds again

    and the clouds

    over stating the obvious, isn’t that why they call them accidents, because people get hurt.

    I now have internet access and I am going to catch my blog up to date. i have been keeping it offline and i hope it still makes sense.

    So on Wednesday night we camped in red rock canyon state park, in Hinton oklahoma.

    The park was nice enough, the campground was cool, until the evening. While we were trying to sleep the squirrels and raccoons came to life. We could actually hear them sniffing outside our tent all night.

    Thursday morning on the way to little rock to see brooke’s grandparents, we stopped in Norman Oklahoma.

    We went to norman to have breakfast and coffee with Jonathan Hils.
    IMG_0914.JPG Hils is a professor of sculpture at the university of oklahoma where he has been since 2002. Before he went to U of O he was at the college of charleston which is where I first met him. It was nice visiting with him and he is staying very busy with his work and his teaching. It was funny to see him now since i first met him when he was right out of graduate school and he was very intense, like most of us right out of graduate school. Now he is a little less intense, but still an amazing artist and an inspiration to me and the many students who have been fortunate enough to work with him.
    here is a shot from his studio

    After breakfast we made tracks to little rock.
    i saw this en route to little rock

    One of the best moments of this trip so far was opening Brooke’s grandmother’s refrigerator and finding a tub of homemade pimento cheese spread. At that moment I knew there was a god, and that he must be southern. For more on my ongoing love affair with pimento cheese see my other cheesy blog entry. Today we are taking a day off from driving. And tomorrow we make tracks for columbia south carolina.

    June 3rd
    We made it into columbia about midnight last night. We have been reunited with our cat zero who has been staying with the nicholson’s for the last couple weeks. She seems less than excited to see us, although I don’t blame her. The last time we saw her we put her in a crate and put her on a plane to south carolina. Internet access continues to elude me so I have been keeping my blog offline and waiting for a chance to update it. We hope to get into charleston by Monday or Tuesday and then brooke leaves on Saturday for her class in pennsylvania. I hope to get settled into my new studio sometime by the middle of the month. I have a long list of things to work on and i should have the new website launched by the end of july. The road trip really afforded me time to think about my next couple of projects and exhibitions. Speaking of exhibitions I have a piece in a show in santa fe, that opens later this month. As soon as i get an internet connection I will upload the rest of the pictures from our trip to my flickr page.
