Beginnings; Studio Nostalgia

I recently had a virus scare on my old laptop...kept freezing and the screen would go all Magic Eye on me.

I took it as a warning to backup all my old files; and here I am on a snow day going through the archives. Some old photos from the last semester of studio at Moore are proving very inspiring right now. As Lauren and I are in studio purgatory now, trying to transition from one place to another, and have not made actual work in about a month; these are consoling images...

The beginning of the Epic Tea Quilt. Who knew something so small could become something so expansive...

The parts of sculptures I hadn't even made yet....this is a great reminder as we're moving to consider anything and everything before I officially purge something. An art episode of Hoarders is in my future....

My first blood orange sits precariously in a coil of sharp saw blade...the first bandsaw blade framed sculpture...an old shovel.

Bedsprings! Wow! And the beginnings of the Steppenwolf sculptures.
