So these last and next few days will be dedicated to installing my IP project in Slusser Gallery. Because of my giant wall space, I was using a ladder to get up high and hang up pieces and draw on the wall. The tallest pieces were so terrifying to hang and I actually started hyperventilating. Who knew I was scared of heights? (well at least heights on a tiny space to stand on...like a ladder) Thank god for Mark Neilson and his trusty lift!!! Alas, one needs some sort of a license to drive it, but when its parked I am able to take over and work!!!

Installation has begun!

Today I walked into my IP class only to find everyone giddy with excitement about the spots we had be given in the galleries. Obviously I freaked out and ran to Slusser Gallery and began hanging things up on the walls! Within 2.5 hours I was able to hang up my framed pieces and tomorrow I plan to hang up my paper sculptures. I am sooooooo excited and cannot handle myself!

Festifools Costume
This Sunday is Festifools, a wonderful, fun, grand and amazing parade that springs up right around April Fools day. My paper engineering class is walking in the parade and we are required to make our own costumes using tyvek. The goal: to walk in stark white costumes wearing all black underneath. Of course, I am using my patterns and decided to make myself a skirt sash combo. What do you think?

Cedric Tai
I met with the coolest artist today. His name is Cedric Tai and his is a native of Detroit. His art is super cool and ranges from paintings, geometric sculptures, prints, wood...everything! Here are a few examples of his work.
We talked for over an hour and gave me such great feedback on my project, patterns, and even gave me ideas for what to do to continue my work after IP is over. I am so excited and have so many new ideas. Check him out, he is amazing!
