so, i'm about at the halfway mark framing out my latest body of work for my solo show at chambers in portland, oregon this december. i've worked myself into a nice little rhythm...cutting, gluing, clamping, repeat....all the while, managing to churn out even more collages fit for the exhibit. i was encouraged to find out 2 of my pieces currently on view at the gallery sold last week. hopefully, it's a sign of good things to come. i really feel indebted to these people for believing in me. they're taking a chance on a non-local, and i need all the fairy dust i can get..plus a few ounces more.
