Well I finished working on the norman piece this morning. I spent the day working on and then giving my artist talk, and just sort of hanging out around the ou art building. Tomorrow I am going to try and get in the print shop and pull some prints before the opening. I still need to clean up the debris and try and get a good nights sleep before tomorrow but otherwise things are well. I think one of the biggest things I found out with the norman piece is that it felt like I had taken what I made for the city gallery piece and split it in half. Where the past three stir stick installations had central forms that defined them, the norman piece feels more like a return to my interest in defining space the way the redux piece did in 2006. I also discovered the joy pf creating the intersecting planes that appear on one end of the piece. The intersecting planes felt a bit like I was finally letting out my inner maya lin. I will try my best to get some action shots during the opening tomorrow night, and look forward to getting some time back in the studio at home before heading off to The University of Memphis for the next stop on the tour.
