I would like to thank the many people who have sent emails wishing me well i look forward to seeing all of ya'll at the opening on thursday. For those of you who cannot make it have no fear I will post pictures from the opening so it will feel like you were there too. I spent today adjusting the lights and for fun this afternoon I printed some posters. remember to click the images to see them full screen.

day 32

well the exhibition is complete except for some minor tweeking of the lighting and some preperations for the opening. With luck I may get to take a day off this week. I hope to see everyone at the opening this thursday july 13th at 6pm.

day 31

I spent today doing little details and began the sugar packet arrangement. This will be the last element in the show. with any luck I will be able to take a day off between installing and getting ready for the reception.

day 30

"The completed circles are beautiful."
-DKA www.dka9.com-

I am very tired but now the two circles are complete. 1000 black and 1000 white lids arranged in two ten foot diameter circles. After a good nights rest I will resume working. I am thinking about what this space will feel like with people in it. I spend so much time working on what is a solitary art that I forget I will be sharing it with other people next week. with 5 days left I am feeling a little pressure, and a little bit ready to go back to california.

day 29

I managed to get the white lids finished now to finish the black lids. I hope to make some more progress later. I am off to the invasion fundraiser for redux . With only six more days until the opening I can finally see an end to this. The most difficult part is that I can't speed up this work it takes the time that it takes and I just have to stick with it. just a reminder you can click any of the pictures to see them full size.
