Grateful for few days of art, sunshine, and friendly faces in California.
Thanks to everyone who came out to check out In Other Words at Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco. I really appreciate the interest and support! I think the show looks fantastic—all respect due to Kevin Chen, gallery director; Intersection staff, and the other artists for their thoughtful contributions.
The show continues through March 24, with many public events—most are free or sliding scale.
Here are a few snapshots, with better photos to follow on my site….

Meryl Pataky had a nice pair of installed wire works, whose shadows spelled positive and negative words phonetically.

…as well as inspiring studio visits…
Studio visit with Stephanie Syjuco.
Spool holders, hooray!
Studio visit with Michael Arcega. Baby, the artist-designed and -made collapsible, outrigger canoe, under a pinata-disco ball-hybrid. Not to mention an envy-inspiring woodshop in the studio.
Mini disco ball, wood glue, and the story of a sailing expedition at Michael Arcega's studio.
Free crate + casters + door + sawhorses = two tables that fold into one. Genius!
