an early morning drive,















a purple sky short flight















and im back home again.

















it took me a few days to feel like i was back to full speed
but now the ideas are coming fast
















(or at least just under the surface...i think)
















i just gotta do these coupla things...
















just a little bit of coffee

















and ill be ok.

so we are wrapping things up here,




























































showing what we've been working on



























































and getting feedback.
























































its been so interesting to see what everyone has been doing,
how we have found our roles within this space,





























within the history of the objects collected here...




























how we take them and process them,
















make our own history,
















how we write our myths,




























how we cast the present...
















what will we spin into the future?

water in various forms

i wish you were here to smell the rain rite now.

















then later in the evening/early morning, a cold front moves in and i am confronted with...the glacier on the third floor.

so when youre in the middle of makin art that speaks to one's inner archetypal journey, bringing mankind to a higher level of consciousness about their existence and placement in the world




























its also a good idea to remember to take the occational shower.
















or is it really that necessary?
i think the dust simply lets the fabulousness of the Yellow Ribbon Sister's new album photo shine through.

workin hard, things are gettin tough. ideas coming up, like target practice....























whew. its all about picking and choosing. we're all looking forward to the open studios event this wednesday (plug - if you're anywhere near Greensboro, NC, stop by!) but we're also trying to figure out which of the plethora of ideas we've had to carry through in the time we have left.
well, maybe just me.
but hey, it's all about process. rite?













but at the end of the day, i'm (and here's the postcard):
"having a wonderful time. wish you were here."

3rd floor at elsewhere

im trying to reorganize a bit.

















i think i found a place to play...
















maybe makin some plans
















everyone else is having a good time too.

















talking about various things































we went shopping for food for the week yesterday.

















theres some good cooks here.

do you wish you were elsewhere?

melanie found her bed by the bed that matched the sweater she was wearing.















i had been thinking this week that i hoped to find some white fabrick, maybe rolls of muslin, something i could cut up a lot of. i was looking through these rooms last nite and found...














exactly what i was looking for.

so ive been thinking about transportation lately.










how we get from here to there.










and Y, pink sky?




























got some things tellin me what to do.




























constant process of figurin out what to actually do in the midst of that, no?




























nothing new.














listenin to musiks that make feets move fast






and cause flashbulbs to pop














and inspire aerobic activities.














(you find things in the most unlikely of places.)
















feel like i need to prepare for something, make myself healthy, physically and mentally.
















maybe something's going around, something in the air...



























































or maybe im recovering.
calm before the storm, or in the eye of it?
EYE dunno.
sorry.
its been a big week.
















got some new sunglasses.




























heading down to a residency in elsewhere, north carolina, next week. glad to be in town, glad to get out of town, life's full of ups and downs, yes.
but really, who wouldnt want to live in ann arbor michigan rite now?














i have a really great life.
