Visual Procrastination

In the city, it's easy to think that strangers have no time or care for one another...thinking about road rage, bystander apathy, people who bud the line in grocery stores...So it's easy to get jaded about human behaviour. But then something always happens that reminds me humans are actually wired for good and here is my one paragraph reason why:

I am working on two shows right now, both of which are loading in this weekend: Radiant Dark at the Burroughes Building and Come Up To My Room At The Gladstone. For both shows, I needed not only my designed piece, but images for various press kits and whatnot. My apartment is very dark, and I like to photograph pieces in context, so a little help was needed. So I asked around, and to my surprise, a variety of people came to my rescue, from great neighbours to complete strangers. Thanks to all of you: Cate, Ricky, Roger and Abby, for lending me your homes, faces and lapels.

I will post the deets of both shows in my next post.

Thanks again, you wonderful people!

And here's the french toast I ate for breakfast today. After two bites, my companion pointed out how very...appropriately shaped they were, given today's date.
