Procrastinating Art History Papers . . . Blogging instead

So I got 12 hours of sleep last night which is two more than the last three days before that.   This must mean it is the end of the semester.   This post is a bit of a hodgepodge showing some work that is extremely recent and also some work I just had not gotten around to photographing until today.  I shot and edited all of these pieces today.   The fact that I was happy to sit and edit photos for a couple hours makes a pretty fitting commentary on how much I wanna write a research paper.  But enough of my rambling and I will get to the pictures.

 So this was actually the first piece I finished in New Orleans it was a responce to my thinking about New Orleans and the parade centric nature of the city... It is called Parade Route

This piece I just finished a couple days ago, and might get a projection through it but I have not figured that part out yet and just broadcast found media through the piece ... Tentative titles; Loose Cooperage, Primitive Haldron Collider,

 So I am not as happy as I could be with the photos of the one.   It is a collection of loose glass bricks that has at this point been stacked into 70 or 80 different configurations.  So its a bit of a meditative exercise or maybe just an obsessive behavior.   So each iteration is different, I will keep stacking it until I get the perfect one and then maybe think about permanence.  I also figure it needs to get installed in a clean gallery space that way I can photograph it better.  

 In my brain this one is called  Rumination on a Starry Night ... but I doubt that will stick

So this piece is actually sort of broken, it is a casting that got cold worked and then picked back up and worked hot.   But I didn't let it soak long enough and there are a lot of little interior sealed cracks. But I still like it and think I might make more of them.

This one might be called Tear Drops and Concrete or perhaps Star Bellied Sneetches
