I am done!! Yay! Here are some pic of the final installation piece. I could not be happier with the way it turned out, especially with the opening of the show. There were soooo many people I love there supporting me and my fellow ladies. The night is kind of a blur of people, music, and hunger (I didn't even get any sushi!). We working working until the last minute and it went off without a hitch. Everyone was so supportive, it was a wonderful way for me to end my IP journey.
It was a rough week before building the walls, transporting, and setting up all of my work. We essentially renovated the yellow barn, which was quite a task. Thanks to Jan and help from many of our friends and family memebers we were able to create a beautiful space that showcased each of our work perfectly.
I am very happy with the composition of my pieces, especially with the mulch surrounding them. The mulch really helped the organism come alive. It was so awesome to see people interacting, touching and talking witht the pieces. I must say that hearing people talk about your work in a positive manner for an extended period of time feels great.
I'm really happy with the way the surfaces turned out. They didn't turn out how I thought they were going to but I'm satisfied with what I got. There were some issues with the M and M glaze (textural glaze) but I kind of like the mishap. The bumbs make the organisms look as if they have an infectious disease growing on its skin...
Anyways it was an amazing night. Thanks so much to everyonw who helped with the show, as well as supporting me ovee the past year!
oh yeah and for those of you who care, the Jazz band was playing Dilla all night and it was so cool, I melted :)
