musicnow

A close up view of our installation at MUSICNOW, in collaboration with Country Club. The show is located in the Gold Room of Memorial Hall, so we cast everything in various shades of yellow porcelain.
The tops of the pianos (two facing each other) seemed to be the perfect place for "Composite Composition I and II" - very springtime, with canetoads and rats emerging from flower clusters large and small.
Finally, our "Figurine" and "Bust" are displayed in the front entryway case, with rats on gold dollies. A nod to the permanent display on the opposing side of the hall.... And tonight - St. Vincent!!

spring break

A quick peek at the interior of our next show space - we are creating a couple new pieces that will blend in perfectly. Some sort of scenario on top of the pianos and set up in the entryway cases... install in 9 days.

Hunting dogs on the loose

Yes!!! More snarling dogs and we are so excited to get cracking on these bad boys. This 3-d scan data was taken from a German porcelain figurine made in the mid 18th century. We love bringing stuff back.

making molds

(above) Cane toad - negative (in the works)
(below) giant flower - actually working

We have been in mold making mode for the last month, and are finally starting to reap the benefits. Mike's squirrel is looking AMAZING and the giant flower is working like mad. Finally, something is happening... Off to NYC tonight to see the Whitney, Armory Show, and some oldies at the Met this weekend.
