1.1.2017<\/em><\/h6>\n

The last post was all about the impending photo shoot of the above-titled work, which took place without a hitch just over two weeks ago. A huge ovation and a raucous Hip-Hip-Hooray! for my 56 intrepid volunteers, who modeled the 73 pieces that I had made in the previous month like absolute professionals. We worked basically by city, so we managed to get the works arrayed across our models.<\/p>\n

I then took all the wearable works back into the studio to photograph them with the 73 containers from which they had come. After that I packed up the whole of 1.1.2017<\/em> and sent it to Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, and emailed a batch of the finished photos of the piece by the deadline, as per our contract. Then I reclaimed my weekends!<\/p>\n

Contemporary Craft are now assembling the works of the 26 artists juried into Transformation 10<\/a>: Contemporary Works in Found Materials<\/em> in preparation for opening the exhibition and\u00a0 awarding the Elizabeth R. Raphael Founder\u2019s Prize on the 14th of September.<\/p>\n

Now I’m working towards other deadlines. Have I mentioned that I’ll be in an exhibition With Other Eyes<\/em> starting at the Ruthin Craft Centre in Wales on the 29th of September? I’m currently waiting on my first ever order of enamel decals (don’t worry, you’ll hear about it) while slowly slicing some 2mm shipping container steel.<\/p>\n

So that’s why I regretfully don’t have any images to share of the work, or the shoot, just yet. But if you seek them out on Facebook, a few of my volunteers posted their images and thoughts. And yes, I’m still doing the editing on the pictures that I didn’t send (we shot about 680 images on the Saturday in Fremont, and I took about that many again in the studio), so I will be able to share images of everyone involved, and the whole work, very soon.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, there was some positive gun news on The Guardian recently-there’s been more sales slumps for one of my favourite brands<\/a> << you’ll be sure to shovel on the sarcasm for those last 2 words, won’t you? >><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
