Waiting for Amusement

This one gave me fits. But the outcome was worth it. I've always wondered how a muse maintains the stamina to inspire. That's what this is about. The text reads " who will muse the muse when the show must go on?". It's about the searching, scrambling, and chaos that goes on behind the curtains while the crowd is merely "waiting for amusement". This is pure candy.

This is the very tedious cutting, sanding, and arranging of my thinly sliced people on a 5X31/2 sheet of plywood. This is the "fun" part awaiting me after I've spent long days painting and drawing them. Halfway through this process, all my mind kept saying was " God, this is wearing me out." But I kept on.
Now, the pieces are arranged and I get to experience the "magic" of wood glue. It took a solid hour to glue each piece down.
Here's the finished piece on my living room wall. This is only after an epoxy (liquid plastic, basically) coat is painstakenly applied and left to cure for 24 hours.

Now that's what I'm talkin about! It made its way from my living room to a prime spot at the Timothy Michael Gallery for an all Atlanta emerging female artists show.

Candler Park Fall Fest

This weekend I participated in The Candler Park Fall Festival. Here is some of what I showed:

"JUST VISITING"
This chunk of eye candy went home with two adorable gay dads and their two daughters.

"FUN IN THE FENCE"
This little assemblage is still looking for a funky home.

This is one side of my set up.

"UNCLES IN ALCATRAZ"
Doesn't everybody have an uncle who's served a little time?

This is me with my people
