Art Shows

I took a long time off from art shows. I have two pieces in two shows this summer.

One is at the Rockford Art Museum Midwestern Bienielle. Good old Rockford been very good to me. I was in a lot of shows last decade there. The piece is titled Free To A Good Home, which is baby monsters and their caretakers.

The other piece is Happy Family and that is going into the Not Normal show at Forum 301 art gallery

Happy Family I originally titled Mister Potato Chip and Friends.

I also submitted this throuple as Chasse.

I first took LSD around September 1974 and I don't think I've ever come down from it.

Existential Dread

I'm starting to feel existential angst about how long I have left. More directly how long active will I be? On the assumption I will become less active over time, it makes sense to get stuff done now while I can.

The question is what? Metal for sure. That's strenuous and tedious and eventually I will not be able to do the hard parts.

Here are the latest bronzes.

Bronze is getting expensive though. Everything is, and I guess that is because we have consumed the same amount of raw materials in the past 20 years than we did in the prior 100.

Sorry kids. Can't blame the Boomers for this one.

Anyway I want to try cast iron. And maybe cast glass again. 

While I still can.
