not local
these chairs will be in richard levy gallery's room at the jupiter hotel art fair in portland this weekend. i wish i could visit them in person, but alas.... if someone makes it to the fair i'd love to know what it was like. there's a great list of participating galleries.
more polaroids from japan for you::
i saw this a lot. for some reason people seem to pile rock on rock sculptures and around shrines.
a collection of shoes hanging from a shrine gate
and.... ash posted on our new book over on ship . have a great weekend.

the rocks
were offerings
or a symbol
that you
had been there...
beautiful
polas.
i so want
to go
back to
japan.
xo
as for the shrines, i love the polas...
and as for the rocks, though this might not be at all why the Japanese do it, i know that in Jewish culture (or maybe just my family?) people leave rocks on loved one's graves to let them know they paid a visit.
have a great weekend! xo
and can i just say that i had no idea the jupiter was having an art fair this weekend... oh i really really hope it's still in full swing on sunday, because it's my only day off. i can't wait to see your work in person!
also, the polas of the hanging shoes are some of the most beautiful images i've seen in a long while.
thanks for the wonderful post. :)
your work inspires me.
:)

i am excited for the day i get to see some of your work in person.
Did you find out why they hang shoes on the shrine? Curious to know...
Hope you are having a great weekend xxx
congratulations on your work being in the fair. it must feel strange not to be able to attend though.
you keep on tempting me with Japan :)
those 2 polaroids with the shoes hanging reminded me of Eva Hesse's work which you know so well.
but here is the link

susan :) thank you so much.
risa - i'm excited to see YOU in person
hi karen - i'm not sure why all the shoes are there - i'm going to guess it has to do w/ pilgramidge. it was the only shrine that i went to that had shoes....
thanks comfies... :) we should compare japan photos!
