It is unbelievable that I have pulled an ostrich for the last few months.
OVERWHELMED would be the only word to describe my state-of-mind.
Fabulous things have happened since I last posted . . .
1. We FINALLY, after 10 months, sold the house
2. We bought our dream house with an 1,100 sq. ft walk-out basement studio for me.
3. I am now trying to balance decorating and furnishing the house, pulling a rabbit out of the hat to set-up the studio, settling the kids in school and after-school activities . . .
4. Maintaining a busy exhibition and commission schedule.
Anyway, I'm back. Ready to conquer the world.
I've been doing tons of reading, researching, sketching, dreaming, sharing, and am ready for several new series of work as a result of this low energy ebb - as is all things, my life is cyclical and I feel on the output upswing!
Here is the empty (pre-purchase view of the studio) i.e., my "blank canvas" - still figuring out how to set it up, run some electricity, etc.
So I am back in the saddle and will be posting with more regularity . . .

Made it into the SEJE 2008 Biennial
At left, KERPLUNK, has made it into the SOUTHEASTERN JURIED EXHIBITION 2008, A Biennial Competition for Artists in a Twelve-State Region, which is held at the Mobile Museum of Art in Mobile, AL www.mobilemuseumofart.com.
I'm really excited about this exhibition as it is highly competitive, it has a great contemporary curator and provides a fabulous catalogue - I'd have to say that my hard work is really starting to pay off and that I am beginning to feel the fruits of my labor.
I'm also getting revved up for working in the studio again - really interested in creating some of the installations that I have been imagining over the last 4 months of production on Rapunzel - the new works will be delicate and evoke the same type of childhood innocence that was coming forth in the Childhood Game series . . . will keep you posted!
This Biennial will be exhibited from July 11 - Sept 14, 2008. The opening is the afternoon of July 13th (Sunday) - which I don't get to attend because it is the same weekend as my niece's wedding. If you are planning on going, let me know and maybe we can meet there another weekend!
