I-Park Artists Residency

When I move a piece, it is so maleable that the process moving and restringing creates a loss of tension. So I'll try to string to restore tension then rework, refine to it's new home. And then finish her out... Read More0

Hands much better. One week left, must get back to work.Weird fungus ? growth following a week of wet and rainy days.0

Ha. And now for some light reading on this rainy night–the life of reason: reason in art by Santayana, 1917.0

Artists living on the edge, so wild we are. We migrated in for a little Haitian food at the local Hadlyme Congregational Church. It was some kind offund raiser–kinda of Haitian potluck for 10 bucks. Now back to defensive driving... Read More0

Different flora comes into life each new day, lilly pads continue to encroach, and my little swollen digits are slow in their recovery and make gripping difficult. I believe I’ll break out my rachet straps this morning to heave her... Read More0

A gray fox stood on the stone mounded fence gazing 30 feet up at us working in the trees canopy. I was amazed at how quickly she found us and at how well she blended into the stone. Her coat... Read More0

I am such a Houstonian as I sit here layered up with my wife beater tank, long sleeve-t, two sweatshirts with both hoods up, sleeves pulled over my sore hands and brrrrr, I am chilled. The frogs were quite in... Read More0

Which was great excuse to continue resting my hands. For inquiring minds, my trip photos have been shot with my iPhone. Perhaps apple should fund my travels :)0

Dang it’s taking me all day to add this extension and I am not done cause I keep taking breaks. These clips are so helpful and it would be tough without them but squeezing fifty or so of them in... Read More0

Laying her flat, I see I need to extend her neck six or seven feet. I’ll do that this morning making her ready for initial install. Once installed I will continue developing her to integrate and react to specific site.... Read More0

I am squatted down near my tubes when Mason, the get’er done and fix it, irreplaceable, on site, guy, says something to the effect of, “don’t turn your head, just stand up slowly and walk away.” hmmm. I trust him... Read More0

A little lunch and a run through thedevil’s hopyard.0

Dang. Not the intent. Though this is temporary because I released my support cables to rotate her like a rotisserie chicken to continue my work, but I simply don’t have enough body mass or muscle to restring my cables…such a... Read More0

I didn’t make it to the pond this morning, but took care of some BOX business I’d been putting off, calculated site measurements for cabling and a feasibility analysis for the work I am doing here. So now I’ll take... Read More0

To determine cabling needs for installation. Work is at point it needs to be put on site in order to continue working. This will allow me to have the piece respond directly and interact with the site location — responding... Read More0
