Communication Unplugged.
Opening this week at the Canyon Community Center, Springdale:
I entered my reconfigured art piece,
'COMMUNICATION UNPLUGGED'
Mixed media, comprising, used envelopes, cotton thread and wax. 25x9x30"
In 2007 I sent a request for friends and family send me envelopes through the mail, they too could invite their friends, eventually accumulating enough envelopes I put them together as a 'quilt' that ended up as an installation called 'BED POST'. That piece was displayed during the Open Studios of 2008, and the work has sat in a box since then. Michelle Larsen Bonner reminded me of it and that maybe I could do something with it for this community show. Several weeks later I finished it August 31st.
It is a large envelope, to all Humankind, with a letter expressing a quote from John Ralston Saul, a Canadian writer and current President for The Pen International,
" Any means of communication that can be unplugged cannot be independent ".
If you go I hope you enjoy the show.

Last couple of days.... Finishes Sunday!
GAIA'S ROBE is up for display until August 9th. This may be her last public showing as she is very delicate.
Also on show are some other books, mixed media art and Jewellery by Michelle Larsen Bonner, Kris Eberhard and myself. It's a nice show if you are in the area please visit!
Sun Rays #1
We had our old (as in, how long we have known them for! Not, of course, their age!) and very good friends, Ali Hampshire and Ric Faulkner stay last week, and I commandeered them along with Steve, and Mary Jane and Bill Weyher help build the next 'animal shade' - SUN RAY #1- for the Weyher's pasture in Springdale, along with the larger immobile shelter - CLOUD COVER - built earlier this year. Here are some photos of the building and the final piece (above). More will follow soon!

Cloud Cover: the official cutting!
After Earth Day celebrations in Springdale I had a small gathering to cut the ribbon on CLOUD COVER, the sculpture that is in MaryJane and Bill Weyher's front pasture. Part Art - Part shade cover (see previous post).
Thank you MaryJane and Bill for allowing me to have this much fun, and to Brin & Ella Wrankle for the photgraphy! And I appreciate all who attended, and sorry to anyone I missed, it was a small impromptu affair!
