Will Travel

Genius Loci is up at the Hardin Valley Campus of Pellissippi State Community College for another week+. I've loved getting to meet and talk to the students and faculty there. Next Monday, October 29th from 3-5 pm, I'll return for an artist talk (and to distribute the fig cuttings from the show).

On the 29th I'll also take final stock of the seed ball trade that's been going on in the gallery. The show opened with hundreds of seed balls (made with clay powder, commercial compost, and wildflower seeds) set out in a grid. A sign in the gallery invited visitors to trade something for the seed balls. This is the first time I've presented seed balls in this way and I'm pleased with the results and eager to catalog the items traded.

I suspect the objects left behind reveal a sort of community portrait. I look forward to mounting this installation in another location and community to test that theory.

Family Loci

My family helped me load, transport, and install my show this weekend. Many thanks to them and to my assistant Amy Hand.

Leap Again

Herida Abierta

This show, Viviendo Entre la Herida Abierta, by Leticia Contreras is up at the Birdhouse now and I dig it. It is the best show I've seen there in several months. Lucky you (if you live in Knoxville), you can catch the closing reception this coming Saturday, the 29th.

Genius loci

I have an upcoming show at the Bagwell Center for Media & Art at Pellissippi State Community College. Here is a flyer for you and yours to see, share, and enjoy.

sketch books

I've just started working in the final pages of a large sketch book and am resolved to stick to smaller books again. Less weight. My next one is partially started and I found this in it. Noam Chomsky came to speak at UTK in 2011. The book is all scrap paper bound in the style I learned from Andrzej Włodarski, but not nearly so well finished.
