Lawrence, Kansas
Road tripped to Lawrence, Kansas this past weekend to attend a dear friend and fellow WashU MFA Grad alumni's exhibition. Nicolette Ross has been the Printmaking artist in residence at the Lawrence Art Center for the past year. This past Friday was her culminating exhibition entitled If You Say So, marking the end of her year long residency.
Also was very excited to finally see one of Patrick Dougherty's stick work installations in person. Comprised of maple and dogwood saplings, The Bedazzler stands 24 feet high and is located on the Kansas University campus.

(in)decisions, decisions
Most times I find when working that my biggest obstacle is gravity
Nests, Shells, Corners: Install 5/31
Was hoping to introduce new patterns and color into this piece but I think the golds and ambers I picked out are too heavy and weigh the piece down. Bold colors and patterns are distracting from the frames and over power the intricacy in the folds and form. I'll experiment some more tomorrow but will probably stick to transparent flesh and nude tones so that the piece stays light and delicate. I think this will work best to contrast the hard lines of the frames
