Dreamy ending

So it seems like Paul Auster is getting much attention for his new book hence the many interviews and bios that I keep running across. How did I miss out about him and Siri Hustvedt? I feel as though I have been fooled and denied years of tawdry images inside the writers' lives. Think: the author's tabloid. It could be big.

On another note...Project Elements Easthampton: Earth is now complete and I feel satisfied and exhilarated in moving forward with the water piece. Dreams. Blue. Liquid.

There will be some updates and info throughout the process, so check it out if you get a chance.


Thanks to everyone for making Earth a superb show. You are dy-nO-might!

Process


Maintaining 15 grass chairs is a time-consuming process. I get up every morning before my job. Water, the chairs, clean the space and cleanse and rinse the sprouting seeds. At dusk I do the same. Previously, I have had exhibits that utilized all sorts of media. The show is hung.There is an opening. I take down the work. The creation process has already occurred and I am somewhat engaged with the work while the actual show is happening. With this installation, I have been absolutely involved throughout the show. I watch it change daily.

I am still too far in the middle of creating this Project Elements Easthampton: Earth piece to assess it fully. But I do know that I am prolonging the act of creating as long as I possibly can and that's where I always clamor to be.

Today, I found mushrooms growing on a grass chair. A happy accident.
