art prize 2012 - my entry

'unfinished poem' mixed media on canvas 4ftx8ft

  

this time, a better reason

for having been m.i.a. 

'unfinished poem' is nearly finished.

as finished as it's going to be.

finally vertical

and ready to go, save for

a few subtle finishing touches.

building a crate

to transport it to the gallery on friday.

a strange feeling letting go of it

after being so intimately connected

12-14 hours every day for two months.

 

thrilled to discover

the wonderful curating at

calvin college's 106 gallery

where 'unfinished poem'

will be showing september 7 - october 7.

and ready for the epic ride

that will be art prize,

september 19 - october 7.

if you're anywhere near grand rapids

during that time,

don't miss it! 

 

 more detail shots coming soon.

in the meantime, i am ready

to start tackling the stacks and stacks

of blank canvas

and pretty frames

that have been collecting around the studio.

but first, a foray out into the world

of people and sunshine

via a 4-day trip to grand rapids.

have a lovely, artful, lifegiving,

and poetry-infused week, friends!
