An Epically Epic and Fairly Tardy Year in Review – or, HOLY SHIT: 2011!

My goodness, but 2011 was a whirlwind – I feel like I’ve barely caught my breath from it all, though we’re weeks into it now. For a lot of reasons, it feels like the new year didn’t really begin until my birthday on the 10th. I stayed up late the night before, cleaning every nook [...]

FUCK THE PLAN 2012

So. 2012 is upon us, the juggernaut peeping out coyly from behind the broom-closet door.

(Photo of us by Chip Warren) 11.11.11 – the day we intended to be our wedding day. For reasons beyond our control, we decided that it would be wisest to postpone the celebration, and hopefully be more ready to do it justice a year from today. It’s just numbers, just another day out of the [...]

Las Catrinas

Alas, this year’s flurry of activity and happenings left me entirely wrung out, and in a state of disrepair, having been bogged down with whatever malaise has got everyone around me likewise gripped in its throes. Thus, I find myself abed and click-clacking, rather than painting my face skullwise and taking a krewe of deathly [...]

Tintinnabulation Station

Inspired by both elaborate historic costume and animal architecture, Tintinnabulation Station’s shape is reminiscent of a beehive or igloo. The piece is a tipi-canopy created to resemble a meticulously constructed bird’s nest or spider’s web. Once inside, any movement made will make a musician (intentional or otherwise) from any temporary inhabitant, as the walls are [...]
