Last week (or was it the week before?) I received a package from France. The contents, when fussed over, checked-in and curated lay scattered all over the studio floor like so many Christmas mornings led by children hopped up on too many sugar plums. Like all binges though this one had its attendant hangover. So this weekend when the sun came out I finally tidied up a bit and my mood (...le vin, la cuisine, l'art, mes nouveaux amis, mon cœur ... quoi d'autre ai-je laisser à Paris?) started to lift too. And lo! A city had sprung up!
I showed these sculptures in Paris in December (some photos here). The presentation was a little less jumbled! To keep transportation costs low, I designed everything so it could fit in a box or two. It was NICE to be reunited with my little creations.
Many thanks to the staff of the American Library in Paris and other friends for many thoughtful favors. More of this sort of thing is posted on my flickr site. New Tapestry

I too completed a few panels for the New Tapestry project. It was an interesting idea. However I don't think we even scratched the surface or enhanced the luster of the original Bayeaux Tapestry by a long shot.
Thanks to Julia Breckenreid for first bringing it to our attention. Congratulations to KesselKramer (Christian Bunyan & Keefe Cordeiro) for managing to pull together the work of 44 different artists in a timely fashion to create the New Tapestry before the new decade began. 
For a week that saw, among other things, fourteen US soldiers being killed in a Kandahar, Afghanistan. 
I chose the last week of 2009 for a second panel. This one was about the opening of that mega-tower in Dubai. It sits atop a sea of Middle Eastern crude and highways that are more like roller coasters! Random lyric

The Tale of My Keeper Of Cats (a randomly generated and edited ballad. Get your own here.) ---------------------------- It began on a salty Friday midnight: I was the most winsome tern around, She was the most inscrutable keeper of cats. She was my pilot, My inscrutable pilot, My keeper of cats. We used to run so well together, back then. We wanted to walk together, around the world, We wanted it all. But one midnight, one salty midnight, We walked too much. Together we swindled the locksmith. It was swift, so swift. She grew so wonderful. That salty Friday midnight. |
