The Base for My Upcoming Installation: A New Drawing Device

This is the third iteration of a base for my installation. I think this one is going to be the winner!

Handmade Glass Vessels for My Installation

Amanda and Ethan are in the glass shop working on the vessels for my installation. They look fan-flipping-tastic, if I do say so myself! I had never seen glass-blowing in action, in person, before today. Also, Amanda is my welding teacher, so she is downright badass!

Newton’s Apple / Gravity Installation

I worked on an apple installation this morning. I started small to get to know my materials better. I realized that the narrow rods are very bendy under the weight of the apples. I want them to be narrow so that they’re both nearly invisible and they don’t destroy the fruit. I want to do a much bigger one. I need to figure out how to create an armature that can withstand the weight without being too visible. I also want a little more blue sky, is that too much to ask?! The apples do look great in the environment, and I appreciate that they’re the state fruit of Washington where I live. Of course, there is tons of conceptual baggage to deal with, with apples. Right now I don’t really care about that!

Apple Collection for a New Installation

Temporary outdoor intervention going in on Friday. Stay tuned for more photos.

Sunday with the D800 in the Country

#NikonD800 practice on a sunny Sunday afternoon roaming around in the country. I like that my favorite images from the day all kinda have a similar color palette.
