This was the last frame that Steve and I built over the weekend. It is gigantic! It will be part of a major installation that is planned for spring 2022! Yet, it wasn't the only thing done over the past two days. I was quite busy packing for a month-long art residency at Guadalupe Mountains National Park in western Texas. This was an opportunity awarded in 2020, postponed twice, but is finally happening!
My public program will happen Friday - Sunday over Labor Day weekend. What will I be doing? Well ... I'll be helping visitors trace and cut-out their hand prints on found fabric (previously backed with heat-activated adhesive) and iron them on to a large selection of vintage household linens. There will be a clothesline and conversations about energy conservation. It is during Wilderness Week ... so we will also be talking about how laundry would have been done by pioneers. I can't wait to do all this and to hike new trails! My plan is to be blogging from Texas ... so check back here!

Susan, sounds amazing - looking forward to photos of the area, I did look at the link but having photos by someone on the spot, even better. And your "hands" have certainly created a bigger interest in the world around us.
I'm sorry; I'm a Canuck. I can't fathom your teaching a large group in TX where freedom to spread a highly-contagious virus is the law of the land. I just hope and pray you stay safe and well and manage to have a good time. Hugs!
