What's The Story Morning Glory

What's The Story Morning Glory?

Morning Glory that IS the story ... or part of it.

MIA again due to many activities -- High Desert Test Sites in Joshua Tree, working on my upcoming installation and drawings for Wall Works 3 at Traywick Contemporary, working on my project with Marina Perez-Wong Produced by Marina Perez-Wong for Megan Wilson for Galleon Trade in Manila, Philippines, and the installation of my current exhibition at Tinlark Gallery in LA:

Morning Glory
Tinlark Gallery
May 26 - June 30 2007
6671 Sunset Boulevard, #1512
Hollywood, CA




What a wonderful space! Installing the show was exhausting, but Cris (Tinlark owner), Jessica (Associate Director), and a great crew of assistants (Carolyn and Phillipa, Carly, Rachel, Leslie, and Matt) helped to make the experience very enjoyable and seamless -- thank you!!!


Jessica and Cris -- these women rock!!

Fini!!!

A couple of weeks before this, Carolyn (CastaƱo) and I participated at the High Desert Test Sites in Joshua Tree. Carolyn is on of the artists who customized a Wagon Station for Andrea Zittel. The event was a blast. Highlights included sleeping under the stars in the Wagon Station with the lid up; watching Piotr Uklanski's Summer Love outside at sundown against the old Western set in Pioneertown (the film is the first Polish Western and it was stunning!); and several long hikes through the desert.

Carolyn's Meditation Chamber Wagon Station -- a total oasis!


We went for a drive to see Jack Pierson's Welcome to Wonder Valley! project and came across what looked to be an antique Wagon Station.

The real deal


Inside The Palms -- reminds me of the Butte Tavern

So now I'm working on designs and drawings for the show at Traywick Contemporary and on my project with Marina Perez-Wong Produced by Marina Perez-Wong for Megan Wilson. I'll post more about this project soon.
