Ahhhh.... The Second Honeymoon...
How had i gotten so apathetic about spinning? it just sneaks in on an artist sometimes and before you know it you're just going through the motions. it's been that way for quite awhile. BUT....no more. thanks to Norway i think! I just spent a solid day spinning all the amazing native scandanavian wool that was gifted by my lillehammer students. (will post tomorrow). but what i'm MOST excited about are these installations i'm doing with the yarn. i think i've finally actually morphed into a spider, because now not only do i spin but i'm creating webs in corners and and walls. I am dying to get these into more gallery situations which has me laughing because i have been so anti art scene forever. it's one reason why i went craft to begin with. but i'm over it. i'm an artist weather i like it or not and it feels like this is finally a very natural transforming of craft into art.
is anyone in bed with any curators? time for some good old fashioned nepotism.... tell them to show YARN!!
METAL BAT
This started out trying to be a general bat shape and ended up so metal. This is in a friend's living room. my new dream is to be commissioned to go into individual spaces, spin a specific yarn and install it into the space however the space dictates. Girl's gotta have goals!
(excuse the crappy iphone pic quality...it's all i had at 3 in the morning...)
