Last Chance to Get LUSCIOUS

The "LOCAL" show is up for one more weekend at Luscious Nectar. I went by last weekend to check out the display and found out that one of my pieces, "May Cause Dizziness" has sold! I still have two pieces (including this one "Beauty School Dropout") there along with many other Fort Collins Artists. Luscious Nectar is located at 222 Linden St. in Fort Collins. Get there early and try their wonderful slushies with infusions.

Garbage Garage Recycled fence Mural

Here are some pictures of the recycled Fence Mural I created with the help of some community members. Everyone decorated a clothes hanger with recycled items such as keys, wire, beads, etc. Then, we put all of the finished pieces together is a sort of quilt on the fence at the Garbage Garage education Center. The pieces had to be very secure because it gets mighty windy out at the Larimer County Landfill. We hope to continue to add to the fence through future workshops.

From Resurrections: ECO-logy and ECO-nomy -- A Functional Trash Show

This show, at the Boulder Library will have it's Opening Reception this Friday May 7 from 5-7 pm. Pictured here is CURTAIN CALL. I created this piece using 1,000 slides from the bookstore at Wind Cave National Park. I only had 5 days to drill and assemble the piece. I am looking forward to seeing it installed. Thanks to Erik Johnson for taking this picture. There are more pictures of the exhibit on his Flickr page.

REVISIONS at Resource

This piece, EASTER PARADE will be in the Revisions show at Resource May 1-14. There will be a live auction at The Armory Event Hall May 15th from 6-9pm. Proceeds will benefit The Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association. Here is the blurb provided by the organizers:

The inspiration behind ReVisions is the necessity for artists to re-think, re-use, and re-purpose the way materials from everyday life create a unique and metaphorical vision of sustainability and community resilience. How do immediately available resources in our community allow for creation, and foster meaning and relationships? How does community show us ways of relating and being that give us a deeper sense of connection and permanence? ReVisions is about offering commentary on place, environment, community and life.

Cool stuff. I am happy to be involved. Hope to see you on the 15th!
