In the Works

Projects in the works:
Unbelievably, the -scope contemporary art fair is really coming right smack to my neck of the woods.
-scopeHamptons is scheduled for July 15-17 in my friggin Hometown!!!. Now, Southampton is known for a lot of things, but I'd have to say that younger cutting-edge art has not been one of em. SO Here's to livening things up a bit and having a little fun here at home!
To celebrate the occassion, some artist friends and I have been planning up a nearby installation of our works- I got permission from my lumber yard to use a bit of their property by the railroad tracks, just steps away from the -scope hall...and so stay tuned for PARALLAX: Art on the Trax....because why the hell not, dammit!:)Shipping containers are amazingly cheap!
I'll have some small works in the actual fair as well.

Will also be showing works in town at the same time as part of ARTspotting, sort of an ArtWalk with shops showcasing artists for the weekend. This was a little idea seed from a while ago that I am so thrilled/surprised/wowed to see actually taking shape. It's become a lot of work certainly- I've never attended so many meetings and networked like this. Cooperative effort is draining...but the potential effects! Even if it just livens things up a Little bit, or plants the seeds for next year!

Been also trying to finish up my cigar box artwork for this year's Hospice auction. I am absolutely later than imaginable. Was supposed to be submitted June 1. I'm making it open-book style with two resin 'paintings' facing/adjacent...in the Immense Journey series style.
Need to do final resin layer tomorrow.*gulp*

wow, Parallax! big ol' industrial container spaces + art. sounds really amazing. can't really imagine that the lumber yard would say "no" to you. ;o) something about the collaborative aspect really struck me. an amazing practice for a community. the game rules!!! a path upon which the impossible becomes reality.

hehe. Lumberyard loves nailgirl, nailgirl loves lumberyard.;)woodcuts for freee...

Yep these are the first collaborative events I've been involved with...It's so amazing, I really do see it in my mind as strange overlapping networks and mappings of social structures....been playing around with being a real-life 'connector' and encouraging symbiosis between otherwise seemingly competing groups.
