Here in Johnson, Vermont I had grand aspirations for
a couple of projects. With just a few days left in the residency it seems to
have been one project involving Anthotypes. Through it all, whether it was
working with and saying good-bye to the July artists in residence to the
current August artists, I've kept my door open.
There has been a lot of work done, much of it mortar and
pestle drudgery. Perhaps that's one reason for the open studio. It's so much
more interesting to grind plant matter when you have something to listen to or
to talk about with visitors.
Here's a list to that I hope to write about as time frees
up:
1.
Content of the newest anthotypes: the mix of
male and female sleepwear
2.
The studio practice: 12 hours a day in Vermont
(sometimes)
3.
Slow to make fast to expose: contrasty juniper
leaves
4.
The show in Japan
5.
The Ohio State Fair
6.
Future ideas for the anthotypes / accelerating
the fade
7.
Condensation in "tarping up" the
anthos

Vermont. "Iris Peignoir with Hidden Boxers"
