Love this installation by Adam Laerkesen. I feel out of all of his sculptures, this is the strongest one. The shadows are what really make it. The silhouette really gives the piece more depth because it's constantly transforming within the light. I personally feel that light is a vital element to installation, along with interaction, temporarily, concept, and process. Among other things. Most of Laerkesen's work is representational, but this is more abstract. Probably why I love it soooo much. Took me about 7 minutes to realize it was actually a white stag!
Sooooo I had planned on going to Phoenix this weekend with a friend. Hang some art from work, see some shows, meet new people, buy some records, drink some coffee, eat some food? etc. etc. BUT, that was a mistake. Then I had planned on going to a Lotus show at The Compound Grill in Phoenix tonight instead... but decided against it. I guess the thought of looking for a place to crash later tonight was too much work for me. There were plenty of couchsurfers that were willing to have me stay with them, but I think what it really boils down to is that I had been looking forward to the original plans for this weekend, and now everything else seems a bit lacking? dry?
on the bright side, I've been working on my art like crazy! Really have been enjoying my time to myself lately. I guess I had forgotten how it felt...

MAC ATTACK
Finally got my Mac! so excited. It's my first Mac, so I'm not real sure how to use it. I'm sure me being completely computer illiterate has nothing to do with it........
Made a tuff decision today. I had told myself I would start a new blog when I got my new laptop. A fresh start for new beginings I guess. I had started PEAS. CARROTS. CATS. PAJAMAS. about a week ago, and realized it's about the same as PAWPAW. My issue was that I enjoyed the layout, the title, and the idea of a fresh new blog of P-C-C-P, but really enjoyed my theme and posts of PAWPAW. Sooooo I decided to switch the look of PAWPAW and see what happens. If anyone has any thoughts send them my way. Still open for opinions...unless someone suggests I switch to tumblr [not a chance]
New Project: The Begining of a Beautiful Process
I've been working//planning//testing a new project of mine. Any feedback? Very similar to what I've been doing before, but for the first time, I actually had finished a piece that I felt content with. I'm fully enjoying the process of this project and I'm excited to make more.....after a while, the frustration//confrontation is something that I've learned to accept as part of the project though not its purpose. I finished this piece a bit ago, but have been so busy I hadn't had the time to take a photo. More on the way!
Blind
So yesterday I spent an awkward 30 seconds staring at a woman I work with until she laughed and asked if I was okay............"I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if you were looking at me." was the only response I could give. It's amazing how long I've lasted without really being able to see.....although driving can be fun I think it's time to get some specs. I have these glasses I had gotten from my mom when she was younger........should I bring them back?
Found My Way Back Home
Took a trip back home to NH to see my family. When I had arrived in Boston, I took an impulsive bus ride to Manchester to revisit the art institute I once attended.................as soon as I left the bus station, a couple of odd fellows (drug addicts) start yelling profanities and making fun of the way I was dressed. Some things NEVER change I tell ya!
Went back to old diner I spent most of my time in when I was in art school. I had gotten the one thing I enjoy more than sunlight......PIE!!!!!! [heavenly]
I later ventured home to a wonderful, warm welcome....but I'm not talking about my fam, I'm talking about what was taken out of the oven.....................
