Vinyl's up and coming...

I finished up behind the stairs and on the light table last night. Danielle helped to move supplies and install a large milo shape at the front of the gallery. Mindy and Amber both put up the title vinyl. A few more hours tomorrow and I'll just need to load up and enjoy the reception. Time for some R & R.

Documentation help to the rescue!

A huge thanks to Jen for lunch and introducing me to Andrew, a video student excited to track down some resources for recording the opening. WooHoo! This very friendly campus just seems more wonderful with each passing day. Fred's help with ventilating the gallery, Brenda's extra trash bags, and several others offered help and encouragement.

I'm grabbing some food after meeting with photographer Jeffery Bruce. I'm excited to see the outcome. He brought up several issues inherent with the work and the necessary shots to capture them. We shared a few stories about experiencing Japan. Today has definitely driven home the notion that the arts attract generous people. Good times (especially after nearly solitary confinement over the last week).

Bring on the caloric intake- I need some energy to make a lot of decisions tonight. I hope to finish up behind the stairs and the light table tonight.

The marathon continues

I am looking forward to meeting with photographer Jeff Bruce tomorrow afternoon and some sleep.

Time Lapse Installation Video- Take One

Thanks Brad for researching, compiling and not sleeping to make this happen so quickly. Move the sound bar next to the Blogger B if you don't want music.

A productive Sunday- Part II Day 4

I spent this afternoon and evening hard at work, adding a scalloped edge to the stair doily and working clear into the left hand corner. My soundtrack consisted, in part, of Richard Buckner's "The Hill", Archers of Loaf, Nina Simone, Springsteen's "Nebraska", REO Speedwagon, and finally an Oldies radio station once I couldn't seem to find a disc that wasn't skipping on my favorite songs. 'Ye Olde Boom Box' has seen better days.

Part II- Day 3 and a day of rest

Happy to see an announcement for the show on campus television!

I spent Friday working late and stopped when my exhaustion-induced paranoia got to be too much of a distraction. I ended up working almost the whole width of the gallery around the stairs before calling it a night. I did a few sketches of options and plan to check back on it with a fresh outlook.

On Saturday, Brad came up to visit and I got a release from my cabin fever. I sketched a bit in the morning, and was happy to escape campus to check out Quincy once he arrived. Brad and I had a wonderful home-cooked meal and visit thanks to Jen, Todd, Trevor and Joel's hospitality. I am ready to head back to work- with a rested mind and body.

Part II- Day 2

Another day, another few feet. Jen stopped by this evening to help adjust and even out the lights. After spending a day in the gallery, it was hard to troubleshoot the track lighting. Jen also brought me some hilarious stories and hot cocoa...it was so nice to have some company and the help. Look at the gorgeous wood floor!

I actually felt "in the zone" for a while today, I hope it returns often. I am headed to bed a bit early tonight, I began to feel a bit clumsy and need to adjust just a few lights and I'll be free from worrying about them.
