pile and piles

the above is by katherine spence [fellow mills grad!]. i LOVE her work.... you can see more at the stephen wirtz gallery . the thing to know is that this is MINI! only 6 1/4 inches tall by 4" wide and 4" deep.... gotta LOVE that....

i pick this image b/c i think if i were only 5" tall i have about double this amount of laundry to do. it's shameful. my hamper is not only overflowing it is monopolizing practically an entire corner of my room... sigh.... and it leads a trail to.... the stack of grading and dare i say it... the "T" word [shhhh taxes]....

if only i were a jeanie, or i could wiggle my nose and have everything in order and all ready to go....

i'm actually really excited to get back to the drawings this week. i'm sad not to have any to post for in my monday routine.... i'm on a super super super dark gray. really close to black. here we go!

i also cleaned the studio on friday [despite of the list of other things to attend to]. that was so exciting i can't even tell you. even though i was exhausted afterward i actually had more energy than i had for weeks. something about new possibilities maybe??

the crit yesterday was really sweet. 1st year undergrads.... so cute... wide-eyed... we also had to jury work into a big show and when we'd tell them we picked a piece of theirs they'd grin from ear to ear and their eyes would sparkle. that is a GREAT feeling!

i want to post about my latest bonanza box, but it is SO dark and rainey today that the photos look like crap... so hopfeully tomorrow... and.....hope everyone is ready for the upcoming "work week!"
