Cotton

Adam has posted some of his new poems on his myspace blog. I die. Here is the link: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=48128999&blogID=292555936

Compiling Under Way

I'm certain that I've mentioned it before, that all of the 561 polaroids in the Patchwork toronto series were scanned before they were permanately mounted. I'm compiling the images again in photoshop (cut, paste, cut, paste, cut, paste....) and unfortunately it's taking a bit longer than I thought it would.

Here though is the main piece from the series. Adam Cotton took approximately 50 of the 135 sidewalk photos. Mine were generally taken during the day, and Adam's appear to be mainly taken at night. The piece turned out to be more exciting than I thought it would. I assumed an outcome of complete banality and got the most decadent palette.

Goodbye the Junction

My landlord gave me my 60-day notice for September 1st. He is a rather smarmy man. Here are a couple shots of my current digs, soon to be my former.

Taken For Sarah

It looks like dear Sarah is vamoosing for the UK mid-August. I took these nostalgic photos for her (while with her) a couple of weeks ago on Ward's Island.

Aye Caramba

Long time no blog.

The Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition was this past Friday through Sunday. Despite some thunder showers on Sunday, and sweltering heat throughout, it was a super weekend.

Here's a couple pics of Adam, who was big time my muscle and sanity for the duration of the show:



Sarah helped me hugely with prep work and with the initial set-up and final take-down for the show. Here is a pic of her in her cool Florida shark t-shirt, screwing hooks to boards late at night:


All of the work from the show will be up on my webpage by mid-month. I will also have way more time on a lot of fronts in my life (especially with the show now over) and will be updating the blog on a regular basis again.
