Necklace formed with memory wire and threaded with beads and shrink plastic. I drew the mouthpiece, connecting headjoint part, and all the keys on my Emerson flute. It took longer than I anticipated and turned out differently than what I had in mind, but I like it. I really want to get better at working with wire. Most of the detours from my original plan were due to not getting the wire to do what I wanted it to do. I do like the individual parts emphsasized, abstracted to represent the body of the flute without it actually being shown.

More shrink plastic cause it’s so much fun and small and manageable. I made the cookie a long time ago, but I thought it would be more interesting to connect it with these other objects. I ate in a Chinese restaurant last week. I walked up to the counter to place the order where sat the lucky cat. I received my meal in a red and white box. I cracked the cookie at the end as is procedure and pondered the manufactured wisdom. Wouldn’t quite be the American Chinese take-out experience without the cookie tradition.

A small quick drawing in Prismacolor pencil of my glassfish.  I had him for I think six years.  He finally passed away this past weekend.  He had the whole tank to himself and had outlived his brethren by five years.   I never named him, but the household dubbed him both Michael and Gilbert.

These are shrinky dink earrings I drew and baked. I am interested in the cycle of the blooming weed that transforms to a wispy, puffy seed, scatters through the wind, and begins anew.

I created this shrinky dink from a polaroid I took of two peaches with Time Zero film. The film has been discontinued. I’ve heard that Polaroid plans to discontinue all of its film soon. A rather sad development. I’m interested in process, transformation, and the relationship between objects in these little shrink plastic creations I’ve been doing as of late. The camera I drew from is an SX-70 Land Camera. I titled the polaroid, “Ripe Peaches.”

Prismacolor pencils on shrink plastic. Working yet again with the whole hormones and chocolate theme, this time on a smaller scale.
