As some of you may know, I plan to apply this fall for the career development program through CFEVA. I've been working on sculptures and installation components for a body of work called mini/maxi (pad). The tea quilt project is part of this (and is going quite well as several friends, old and new, have been bringing me their used teabags!), and I've made a few small sculptures. The carving project interrupted me for a while, but I am eager to get back on track. I'd love to apply to this program with all new work.
So, as a reminder, bring me your used teabags!
A second huge distraction has been this:
Memphis Taproom's Handmade Market will be held this Saturday in their lovely little side lot and will definitely spill out onto the sidewalk. They are located at Memphis & Cumberland, on the border of Fishtown and Port Richmond. The event runs from 10-3, and I'll be there with a Bloody Mary in hand (they make the best ones in town, now that my bff and favorite bloody mary-maker, miss Mandy Harrington, has returned to her home state)
I've been working on wearable alternative etching projects, namely, a collection of earrings and necklaces of etched vintage brass and copper stock parts. Brass silhouettes and large lockets are the core of this series of jewelry, with one-of-a-kind combinations of vintage parts, pearls, and other oddities. Keep your eyes peeled for the dollhouse size shaker chair earrings. They're a hoot.
Not to dismiss my art practice, I will have plenty of etchings, block prints, and other works on paper from my ongoing 11x15 series. This is a great series, because it's bound by a dimension, not a style, and changes in the work over the past several years has been tracked through this series. You can see the series of prints that started the 11x15, Mutabor, on Etsy (link-love on the sidebar).
To read about it in their own words, and for a list of the participants this Saturday at Memphis, you can check their events page.
I hope to see you Saturday!
