On Friday morning I found this wing, it fell out of one of the bags of yarn I was packing. I am amazed that it stayed in one piece. We are rough on the yarn. It is piled into bags and stacked into carts, and then un-bagged, counted, and then repackaged up for shipping. Later in the day I found a bee in a bag of yarn and the bee was in one piece.

I am sorry my writing is so skimpy. I am going to try to give you more this year.

We Love Doom/Wheel of Doom #6 01.07.2012Joshua Vrysen’s “We Love Doom/Wheel of Doom #6” is printed and in the process of being put together. (I received my copy last week!) But Joshua needs 28 more keys to complete the run of books. Do you happen to have keys that go to nowhere? Would you be willing to part with those keys? Please email Joshua at buddybomb[at]gmail[dot]com for more information. Thank you.
"a continuing narrative involving strange hybrid creatures and objects that seem to be stuck in a liminal state, as though their evolution were being recorded over eons and flattened into a static drawing." from synopsis of Wheel of Doom / We Love Doom. Nos. 4 and 5 : Grast Ghost

"I'm a perfectly ripe fruit filled with a bounty of luscious pulp and sticky seeds. I'm a vessel for thirsty parasites. I'm cave woman who got invited to tea. " - Alicia Renadette
On Saturday night Alicia Renadette opened up the unoccupied apartment downstairs from hers for people to come and view a multi-room installation she has been working on for the past couple of months. In some ways this apartment was the perfect place for her work to present itself at this time.
I have seen Alicia’s work in galleries before and have always been excited and pulled in by the pieces. Her current work I see as bodies of decay and/or growth trying hard to present themselves as beautiful and restrained beings to the viewer. But at some point it becomes apparent that since they are beings in a state of flux they are leaking innards in front of everyone and can’t control it (maybe don’t even want to control it). In a gallery this makes them a little pathetic and a little bit frightening.
These beings that feel exposed in the gallery were decidedly in charge of the apartment and leaked as they liked. The pieces found their spots in the apartment and grew into the architecture. They spread out in their different rooms and attended to their own processes in front of company unabashedly.
To see more images of the show please see Alicia's most recent posts on her blog.
