two new pieces of a few that i installed in my bedroom at ACRE. the first one is made of efflorescence, more on that here. i had a pretty great studio visit with Anthony Elms at 9am today. we talked a lot about the object in this space - and how the objects transform and alter the read of the space - and how these objects would be way different in a gallery space. mostly they wouldn't be as slippery or hidden. i'm working on a poem in response to our studio visit, Anthony's awesome lecture/performance last night, and issues i've been dealing with for a while now (mainly spirituality and poetry).
