The process of getting the installation ready is beginning to heat up as the date comes closer. It’s beginning to feel as if we will never see the end of the gilding. Cameron and I continued to lay gold down onto the panels, and got a large number of the bigger ones done today, but [...]
Tagged gold, installationI added some more pictures to the gallery site and added a couple of new pages to carry them. Photos of The Solar Cross and The Alchemy Tree.
That’s it. The bottles have been packed away for their next incarnation, which I hope will be in the show at the Brand gallery next year. I ran into Alyssa last week and asked her about the tree in the courtyard there, she said that she would ask the grounds people not to trim it [...]

Today was a truly international business – Laurence from France, Janet, Sheena and Charles from the U.S., Me from England, Pablo from Mexico and Kathrin from Austria. You all [...]
Oh my. This is getting tiring. I grabbed about an hour at the Town Center today to put up another fifty bottles with Pablo, so there are only two hundred to go, which should be a piece of cake to get together on Wednesday afternoon. My hands are still sore from last week’s efforts. It [...]
TWO stories in the Star: There’s a story in the Simi Valley edition here and a different one in the Moorpark edition here. They turned the Simi story around pretty fast – Jason was there only yesterday afternoon!
