So I went to the LOSD Foundation Luncheon today and they wanted me to let y'all know that they are really proud of the work you have been doing in the studio! They said they are committed to working hard so we can keep the study and everything! You guys are awesome!! Remind your parents to donate if they can :)

Whitney, do we get NAHS hours for helping with the phone-a-thon? I'm getting worried about not getting enough hours...

In other news, I decided I am do an instilation with the fish on seperate blocks with seaweed-looking PVC pipe coming out of it. They will be able to be moved individually so that the art can be moved into different spaces.

Well... that's all folks.

So I learned the difference between whole wheat and bleached all-purpose flour this week... I had been using bleached all-purpose flour for my projects, but I ran out and I had a bunch of whole-wheat flour in my house. The problem is that whole-wheat flour is more dense so it holds water longer and one of my fish didn't drive soon enough so it molded. Pretty frustrating... but I guess I learned something...

And congrats to Collin's work in the Review, even if they can't seem to get one single name right :)

So, thanks to Whitney, I am considering using my fish in an installation. They aren't weather proof, so it would probably be indoors. I am considering finding a way to incorporate light into the process. Anyone have a good place to do it?

 

The concept of an installation was hard to figure out. "In principal, it means taking a large interior (the exterior can be part of an installation, too) and loading it with disparate items that evoke complex and multiple associations and thoughts, longings, and moods. It's a huge three-dimensional painting, sculpture, poem, and prose work."
