Sensing Space: an art exhibit

for the first time since college, i'm being asked by an outside source to create art for an actual art space. not to be shoved in a box or envelope. not to be hung on a someone's wall at home. not to be a potential money maker. just to be an expression and experience.

many people in the show are approaching this workshop purely as 'teacher' and not 'artist.' it's refreshing to see adult, 'non-artists' become artists in ways they've never thought about. it's fun for me to be able to be in this grey area of both. expectations have changed and so has meaning. it's relaxed, it's a little silly, it's fun again.

here's the thing: i have NO idea what will be actually exhibited! even my own piece is a bit of a mystery. and the opening is 4 days away....umm, pretty exciting and pretty uncomfortable at the same time.

maybe someday soon i can do this same type of thing without being asked by anyone but myself...



update: the following pictures are my contributions to this group show. i created multiple circles with a grommet that were useful for many things.

the first 5 were photographs i displayed nearby the installation which is also shown below. i loved how the circles began to drop to the floor and the grass drooped as it dried out. everything is cyclical.

even made a hair accessory for the opening night.
