…Is over. Thank you to all the kind friends who dragged themselves to this annual event. You made my 10 hours of studio sitting much more enjoyable.
My husband often jokes that I am a kook magnet. I noticed some truth to his theory on Saturday. I listened to a man describe his collection of over 100 gargoyles. He strategically arranges the little creatures in his yard in order to keep his ex wife away. Because my studio is littered with hollow plastic animals I think the man felt a kinship. He lingered while I sighed.

This began as a tape drawing and evolved into a painting.
This wall is just outside my studio.

China painting factories 07
- In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
