Getting Closer

My new sculpture, Junior, which seems to be a tongue-in-cheek rumination about Victorian Mourning Jewelry, graveyards, disco, and death, is almost finished. After being sick for so long, I've been back to working, but this time for 16-hour days at warp speed. Thank god for NPR podcasts and audible.com downloads. The photos here are already totally outdated. The disco ball is out, lots more hair extensions are in...and I have to finish it bright and early, and then drive it to the drop-off tomorrow, in Wassaic. If you are interested, it will be at the Wassaic Festival in upstate New York this weekend, installed in an old grain mill.
