Below I have posted photographs from my senior art show "I could go on about the chairs I have seen." The show opened Friday, April 10th in Fisher Gallery in Oberlin, OH. I exhibited my work alongside photographer Helen Stuhr-Rommereim.

archives: water towers and sheds

i have been looking at these photographs by bernd and hilla becher. they are an archive of the subtle changes in all those mundane things we forget to look at. they remind me of this book that i got when i was studying in scotland called sheds, which consists of beautiful drawings of sheds, like this one here.

tents

im making a tent and having been looking at various tent styles. there are so many kinds of tents! and so many beautiful ones. how nice to have your house fold up and follow you where ever you go.

WOMAN WEAVES ENTIRE WARDROBE OUT OF HAIR

Lauren just sent me this great article about a 71-year old woman who has made herself a hat, a shawl, a skirt, a blouse, a raincoat, a purse, a handbag and a pair of gloves.

Her hair was 40 inches long, so it makes it really easy.
