Work, work, work.....

This was a tough day....up the ladder...down the ladder.....all day long. The rays of the star-wound on the back end of the container were extended to radiate their effect through out the body. And then, the first changes of domestication were registered: "Our body, our container, moves every day through a sea of visual imagery, sounds, voices, and emotional and physical stresses. As we grow, we develop repeating patterns of behavior based on the content of that sea. Those patterns form a protective covering that make it easier navigate the world." The vertical strips applied down both sides represent the monotony of repeating patterns that we learn early in life that construct our "day".

I am greatly indebted to Chih-Han, one of the museum's curatorial assistants, who is the "right arm" for 3 of the artists at the festival site.  She is our magic problem-solver and contact for the vendors who provide supplies and labor when needed.  Could not complete this project without her wonderful help!!

And the ever-present Jin and Lea who have made life here quite joyous!
