Thank You


A couple of days ago, my router got zapped by lightening, and I haven't yet dug out the passwords etc...required to reset it...so as I type these words I am making use of the Downtown Library's WiFi...but really, I am not writing these words to complain about my own foolishness, but instead to thank everyone who came out to the Bright Young Things Show.

I think the night was an overwhelming success and the support and comments I got (and I believe the other artists got too) was amazing and (for me) transformative...

I've often gone back and forth about making work vs. writing/thinking about work and ideas of process vs. conception. But now, well, at least for the immediate future I think I'll be making work as much as talking about it.

So, thank you to everyone who stopped by...I am so excited to get back to work...

*p.s. the above pictured image was not in the show, like a fool, I forgot to document that work before I stuck it in the frames (I guess that's what happens when you get all excited to see the finished product...)

Hot diggity dam! Great news! The three! hats (artist and critic AND Curator) look pretty spiffy on ya. You wear them well!
Any chance I can get a look/see at da show? I was down below disney town (yes, underneath the park!) on friday.

Oh, that's super-easy, the show is up until June 4...I think you just need to call the gallery to find out when someone will be there.

thank you for the interest!

Just wanted to say that I really liked your work. It also made me appreciate some of your older work that I wasn't getting at the time.
