(re)starting and finishing...Took a break from Shadow Effects December and January.
Finished redacting a used romance novel using collected lint in response to Henri Lefebvre's essay "Clearing the Everyday." I will reduce the novel to 20 scanned pages and re-publish into a a new romance novel. I will reduce the novel again--down to eight images (pages)--that will be printed to 24" x 28" that follow the general arch of all romance novels. These, along with images from Permutations series, will be a part of an upcoming exhibit Tedium at the Firehouse Gallery of Rogue Community College in July 2011.
Started to revise 10 Pillows Not to be Laid on Again (March 25, 1911/2010). This year is significant given it marks the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, where 146 people, mostly young women, died. Currently collecting 146 pillow cases from friends and family; going to ask for donations from hotels. See August 2010 for the original version of this work.
