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).

when walls are lights

The above image is the wall in the resident studio building at ACRE, Steuben, WI. It is made of mortar, wood, and glass bottles - it probably glows amazingly at sunrise. Much more to come from rural Southwestern Wisconsin.

Tea/Coffee

I stopped drinking coffee a few months ago. In response I have started regularly drinking tea, mostly Yerba Matté. So I've decided to update/remake my poem Morning Ritual to reflect my current drinking situation. This new poem is called Daily Ritual, as I drink tea in the morning and throughout my day.
