Winner Winner, chicken dinner!
Just found out that I was the winner, by popular vote, of the Recycled Art Show last weekend. Thanks to everyone who voted!! The benifit apparently raised 5K; a huge success!!
And, this week it was announced that I'm a finalist for the Meridian City Hall project... I'll be among 3 artists who will do a proposal for a new atrium sculpture-for the brand new city hall. This one moves really fast; proposals due by Oct 17th, one will be picked from the 3, & then it will be installed by next spring. I'm really crossing my fingers; it will be a fun one to do; a hanging installation in a 3 story atrium in front of a wall of windows....more details on that later...got to get to work now :)

Working Lives of the Thames Gateway
This project, based in east London and part of the Eastside project, has agreed to fill in the vacant slot for a meeting of the GIHS on 10th February. They are an oral history project covering the Thames Gateway and are recording interviews with workers in a wide range of industries. In Greenwich they have already built up an archive on Siemens, British Ropes and AMC Motorcycles working with our Heritage Centre
They are establishing the East London People's Archive preserved and archived for public benefit.
The project also has a special study day on 20th September to promote the project and discuss priorities. Info www.hidden-histories.org.uk michael@ech.org.uk

Views from the Garden
The view of my side garden; I water it only once a week (if I remember) & it just grows & grows...I thinking about ripping out my entire lawn in favor of this sort of thing. I've got all kinds of perenials, a cherry tree, & mixed in vegetables too....along with a few industrial elements :)
I love morning glories....I planted a few seeds a couple years ago, & they continue to pop up in the spring, & climb up fences, trelleses, etc. Love the purple ones; they're soooo purple; almost neon in the sun.... This year I have lots of purples, some of the huge sky blue ones, & a whole bunch of whites--dont know where they came from, but where I had pinks & purples last year, I got white & only white in one spot this
year....wierd.

New Piece
Finished this one up yesterday; it's a little over 6 feet tall...I like it. It was a fun one; just putting steel in place & welding; no planning...
