Artist Talk and Reception at William Woods

Posted on Feb 28, 2009 in Exhibitions | 8 comments

The reception at William Woods turned out pretty good. Lots of family and friends showed up, and WWU brought two classes of students into the gallery for the talk, so we had a lot of interesting questions, including, “Do these quilts glow in the dark?” I didn’t really plan a formal presentation — I had 3-4 hours on the drive to think about it, and I write about my work so...

Do the donuts

No kidding, this morning I woke up to the sound of an alien ship landing in the bedroom. Turns out, someone changed the alarm buzzer on their iPhone. I didn’t know it could do such a good alien spaceship noise.

Installation of my show at William Woods University

Here I am with my installation pants on — one side pocket holds my spy camera and the other my phone. Although I was dressed for it, I didn’t really do much of the work because I had so much help! And the good photos were taken by Russ. (Photo by Russ RuBert of course.) The last few days have seemed like, a fast-moving blur! I didn’t have a lot of notice for this show...
