Storm King

...was really neat. We were even able to experience a real rain and thunder storm while we were there. I enjoyed seeing the Serra pieces after the rain finally let up and the sun came back to warm up our poor wet little bodies.. which got soaked in the sudden downpour while on the open sided tour trolley.. geesh

Studio Move in

So the work was put up and now the work is down. Back in boxes in my studio. I'm working on getting everything organized in there. Last night I mopped the floor but I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference since it's got tons of art junk caked on it. At least I feel better for trying. Also put up a bunch of images on the wall... folks ive seen, work i ran into in magazines and was attracted to it for one reason or another. I decided to set up my tables in a circle/square format... and it took a long time to decide this because i am used to working on only one table. Instead.. this time.. i am trying to force myself to best use the large space im in, and take advantage of being able to spread out a bit. When i left the studio last night...my studio definitely felt more like me. Things are definitely coming together.... now all i have to do is make some work already :-) Covering the tables in canvas also worked out really well... gave the space a uniform feel, cleaned it up, and also provided better and cleaner surfaces to work on. Indeed it's important to invest the time at the start to acquainting yourself with the space you will be working in... and making it work for you... so that you can find things and so that you feel comfortable in your creation environment. Also these sorts of things just make me happy. Its important to acknowledge that and allow myself the necessary time to indulge in this final hurrah at uarts.
