"Short and sweet" could be the title of today's blog. Basically, I post yesterday's blog this morning, procure more project supplies, and experiment with the large suspended piece. As you can see, part of the process is clipping materials to vertical strips - in this case, what is referred to as "decorative mesh"; all suspended from the metal (wreath) armature. Admittedly, I appreciate the kinetic nature of being an artist: sitting, standing, and even ladder-climbing. Conversely, I exercise patience with the repetitive and sedentary tasks: cutting, connecting, sewing and weaving. Process, process, progress...and finally, product.
Highlight of the day? Well, one is when Jay intuitively walks into the large in-progress suspension. And smiles. Yes! Five years ago when I created a walk-in "kimono," more often than not, I had to invite viewers to enter the interior of the suspended piece. It's permissible. It's intended. It will be interesting to see the response of gallerygoers to this walk-in piece next week at the installation's opening. But if you've read this blog, you'll know that it's a walk-in. Yes!
