Well, hello "day before finals" day

So, I am just coming off of a weekend filled with art at Art Basel Miami, which was a whirlwind of fun. Now I am back to reality and faced with the fact that I have my final critique tomorrow. Actually, I signed up to be the first one, what was I thinking? It doesn't really matter either way because I have to have everything set up tomorrow morning, but if I would have picked the afternoon, maybe everyone would have been too tired to pick on me. As you know from my previous entries, I have been in somewhat of a rut this second half of the semester. I have had ideas and projects in the works, but nothing I am really that crazy about. I need to wrap everything up today and set up for tomorrow. I hope that I can get my thoughts straight over the winter break and churn out the first draft of my thesis. Then this will give me all of next semester to edit and format in preparation for the deadline/thesis defense.

This is my latest installation/sculpture/deconstructed book work in progress, or whatever you want to call it. I have torn up my Post Secret book and dipped the paper in milky resin. I will hang the pages on clotheslines like you see and will most likely use this stand in my installation as well. I am still dealing with other peoples lives, secrets, and the home. Hanging packaged up porcelain houses will also be a part of this (I will repost pics when everything is set up). I love working at my dad's shop because he has stands like this and all the tools and materials I need. It's kind of funny because my dad's shop is the place where I first started creating things as a child.
