Its getting close to the end of the road. Last day for installation is Sunday. Then the chaos/fun begins. The road opens up into 4 speeding lanes of events, performances, tours, workshops, 5 weeks long. Boy, having days free right now has come in handy. Don't know how I would have pulled this off working all day. But there are super people everywhere who are doing just that, more power to you!!
I have spent the past two days in the space, painting tubes over and over again. They are so absorbent that it took three coats of paint just so you don't see the writing. At one point I said fuck it! they are covered and that's good enough. But you know how anal artists become when their work is going on display, Everything has to be just so... at least for me it does. Its okay, it could be better and I will be there tomorrow to tweak it further to my liking. Cause its all about me in my space, other artists are definitely out to make sure people stop by to at least look. A lot of photographers and painters, nothing against you guys, some are really spectacular, others, well you know, lack a certain something. Plan to take pictures of the space, people are still installing and my area looks a little sparse. I noticed that more people are there in the evening now, since there's only three days left.
Thought I would show a little preview of whats to come. I'm on the 3rd floor, rm 321, near the ladies room, that's important!! I must say with these pictures, Here it Comes!! Gyrlfriend in the center adds some color, so will the pieces.Will show you whats around me when it all goes up.
On the flip side, I'm still trying to get pieces together for my pedestals. Have some fantastic ceramic pieces and of course Red Hot Mama. At this time, she is slow but steady. I will give her til Sunday to get done. She's been cooperative and now its just detail work and finishing. Doesn't sound like a lot, but its time consuming. Hopefully, since I'm appeasing her, all will go well & she may make it in Artomatic.
Check out the other red chick whose arm I'm fixing, she might be at Artomatic, not sure. Step one of fixing the cracks in her arm has begun. Mixed a little Spackle with some terra cotta colored paint and filled in the cracks. Began to sand the area smooth, and she will ready for color. She's going to be a dark coronet color, (dark Red) with a little metallic feel.
The Beautiful Ones always smash the picture, always every time!! She's even fuzzy when she does it!! She has a few sistas, similar to the fates, they will be at Artomatic.
I will be in another exhibit in June at Sandy Spring Museum, in Sandy Spring Maryland. More to come on that. Gotta go, my back is kickin' like the last piece of chicken!...must take pain killers! Stay tuned, its gonna get Hot in Herre! More events and pictures, updates on local happenings etc. Will see you soon, same blog time, same blog channel!!
