PARALLAX Peeks

[avad]

view from the street, railroad tracks behind us.


Bleary-eyed and sleepless...week of art finishing touches, installation, set-up madness. Heat wave melts us.
Setting up our Parallax containers...mine with astro-turf floor and velcro to hang pieces on walls, dropping works at -scope, more works up at Brooklyn Handknit in town for ARTspotting. Printing labels for postcards, portfolios....a blur of endless measuring and cutting and lighting and locks and countless trips and supplies, putting up posters and signs and somehow graaaaaaadually it all seemed to come together, though I was still exhaustedly hanging works while we were officially 'open to the public'..





Container of the fabulous Janey, my 'next door neighbor':


My container:

Tapp Francke's portal-like photograph on the back wall with digital slideshow, my cyburbia works on side walls.

hehe. slow down!I'm not falling asleep around you!;)
have to really commit to the image- as you know, that's the hard part.
many ideas but have to be totally sure.

Just teasin dear! I don't know who would ever let me map ALL of them.

Oh yeah do I know it. Something's refining itself in my head for myself but then I need to decide where I want it. SO much to think about. :)

have to admit I really dig the juxtaposition on those rockabilly girls with their tattoo sleeves and retro apron-y ruffly superfem dresses. check out Venus mag's article on "Arteests: leading lady tattoo artists", ya. Here comes Sammy!
Love that mag. I just got a subscription finally.

And I do also love japanese full shirt/body tattoos (http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art9090.asp)- soooo beautiful.

Oh yeah that's SO amazing! I want my tattoos to be a mix of idea and beauty so it;s not heavy handed or mindless.
