Printmaking, conceptual and installation art
Starting off the new fall schedule at the Cambridge Art Association, the Mary Schein Fall Salon opens on September 7th. I’ll have a piece on display — Graphic Kerguelen Archipelago — and will be there in my official capacity as president of the Association. Come by and say hi!
Went to the opening of the “Community of Artists” show at the Danforth in Framingham, MA this evening. My needlework rivers were up and looking good. Check the show out over the next month or so, it’s got some good stuff in it.
The show at the Gutman Library is up and available to see. Here’s a few images of the installation:

I should have been using clamps the entire time! But anyway, other stuff still got done. I finished all nine of the Random
I spent most of the day fixing up the 3D pixel Nile, 3D pixel Yangtze, and piecing together the last bits of the 3D pixel Mississippi. Here’s a quick shot of the Nile, resting on a table: I also constructed five ephemeral Random Pixel Objects and three physical Random Pixel Objects. I forgot to snap
Some new things, some tidying up, some experiments. First of all — the soundtrack for this residency so far, courtesy of the 5-disc CD changer at the Nave:
