"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 connected gingko leaves 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!
