C'est tout.

Marina City collage, check

Finally finished! It took some time because
a) I've been filling my time with other projects;
b) The paper pieces are minuscule and the work was too physically tiring to do for more than an hour at a time;
c) I was resisting finishing.




Now that's it over, all I want to do is keep running my fingers over the teeny, crispy, glued pieces of paper.

Bank on Art

Bank on Art is an upcoming project by Kelly McCray where art will appear before and after banking transactions on ATMs. There will also be an accompanying online directory to promote the artists' work. The first ATM will be in Edward Day Gallery in August 2009.

Neat concept: I like the merging of currency and art. I wonder if there's a way to siphon money to the artists whose work appears on screen?

Oh Ands

I can always count on A. Warhol for pithy quotables.

Pink ones

My favourite colour as a kid was pink, but then I became a tomboy and thought pink below me. I gave my attention to blue. Well, now I'm back to the original choice. Full force. I want it painted pink.

I used magenta ink on my escape drawings tonight that was so vibrant, it stained my spatula.

Wicked marketing

Say what you will about Aritzia, but damn. They've got smarts.

Cooking escapes

I figured out something to do with my fire escape fixation. Part of the appeal for me, is the space in-between and the interplay between that space and things like darkness and secrets.

I love these little in-between rectangles.

Things that are wild

Normally I despise books from my childhood being made into Hollywood money-making machines. But, after swooning over this trailer in the theatre on Friday, I'm eating my words. Jonze has somehow managed to capture Sendak's grotesque, whimsical magic.
