For an artist whose work appears incredibly minimal or extremely intricate (or both?), but either way, puts a LOT of work into their work - like fingers to the bone, "the no-hands award" goes to Andres Bedoya.

Hope your mitts are on the mend.  Great showing at Gonzalez y Gonzalez at Untitled Art Fair.

janet + reggie jaime

What a gift to find this most amazing couple when I chose their house and gardens to document (trespassing).  Janet works as an iconographer. Reggie makes sculptures and photographs.  Many years ago, they founded the Paseo Arts District Festival.  The Paseo is also home to SixTwelve and the 612 x 912 residency.

It's difficult not to see meaning within the fact that on my first night in OKC, I choose their gardens to trespass, that their name is love and that without an appointment, they welcomed us. 

seven years

I've posted 2,055 times over these seven years starting on November 1st, 2006. That's crazy - like life.  It's been a full gallop of ups and downs - haha (haha as George Saunders would write).  Thank goodness for the full entertainment and engagement of looking at world, thinking about it and, of course, making stuff.  I'm so content to work and live on this little farm for another seven. No seventh inning stretch. No itch.

The writer (artist) should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that does not require his attention. - Flannery O'Connor

Much gratitude to those that inspire, teach, lead, challenge and spur me on a daily basis (with some of you working it on a minute to minute basis).
