new work

I hit a crisis on Thursday following seminar- intense desire to redo my entire website (gabrielharp.com) and finish work for my upcoming shows early. The website is almost done- save for the many unlinked links. Carnival, Nursery, Lab, and Chapel…cognitive frameworks for the work I am doing.

The two shows

endless forms:
1. I think I will continue working on the princess and the PEA project that started with ebayaday…I want to cast the pea in something more special- perhaps bronze, or a coppery silver or green gold or something- maybe a local jewler can do it- but maybe I can also do it. all that’s left os the container, how is it ( or al 7 if there are seven) displayed?

on a pillow(s)?
under matresses (life size) pee-stained?
vitrine (sp?)
fabrics
ne

2. the other is this natural selection device a la gluttony
beeswax and glass
need to get the glass welded
need to redo the cones?
how does it sit, stand, not fall over?

2nd year show
I’m debatting- do I try for the nursery and the cahpel or just the chapel?
now at least there is a tabernacle for the average jesus and the goods to sit on the pedestal rather than so much more open

what about the cusp screens?
wher do I print them?
how

at leasst it’s on “paper” now
