Making Things

Some weeks ago, one of the artists I am showing with at the National Veteran Art Museum told me I looked like someone who needed to drop all my responsibilities and make something. While I have issues letting go of commitments, I have started making things again. Taking a page from the methods of a friend, I started doing silhouette collages with duct tape sheets, and decorative papers. It is a start in terms of making things. As far as the methods go... well.... Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery.

National Veteran Art Museum: Radical Vulnerability Installation and Interview

I knew this was coming because I was present when it happened. I felt very "Art:21" ish when I was working and answering the questions. But actually seeing the video and listening to myself....

Well... Look here

Radical Vulnerability at the National Veteran Art Museum

I have been working diligently for the past three weeks installing a larger scale site specific art at the National Veteran Art Museum for an upcoming exhibit "Radical Vulnerability". I can say that I am tentatively done installing. There are not enough letters in the word tired to explain how tired I feel. Nor are there enough synonyms for tired in a thesaurus.

In other news. Students are still challenging. I am not making enough art to satisfy my claim to the label "artist", but teaching still makes me happier more often than it causes me to shed enough hair that it looks like I am holding Cousin It from the Adams Family.
