Key in the ignition, music through the speakers, reverse, GO. Scavenger hunt! Well not really, but it sure seems like one, when driving around looking for all the parts to my next project. Explaining what I’m looking for to the store clerks is even more entertaining. They all, without a fail, have this surprised/absent expression when I reply to their “what is it for?” question. “Sure, it’s in aisle nine” they say, while thinking “ Craaaaaazy lady, it’ll never work”. They smile politely, “Good luck with your project” they say. Gotta love customer service!!! I get that a lot, but I’m not the type who really cares about being weird. So here are a few components: black, white, superhero silver fabrics, metal scraps, some plastic will go in there too. I’m not telling what it is yet, ‘cause what if it won’t work, and I have to admit defeat? Not cool! Here is the deal, if it won’t turn out, I’ll call it a piece of art, come up with some story about how it relates to human nature, and will present it next year at Nuit Blanche!
As for the next project, I’m in the early stages of making coffee table books from archives of photos for Trains to Mars… It will be amazing! I’m getting all giddy and excited just thinking about it. Sorting and organizing photos is as boring as it sounds, but I love neat piles that I can work with easily. Keep an eye on that!
