WUNDERKAMMER - new project!

It's fall. Kids are back at school and I have started going back to the studio. I seem to have forgotten where I keep a lot of things. Where are my bone folder?!?! Where is my fine grit snadpaper?!?!

Anyroad, my first project (thanks to Sheila and Nat's enthusiasm and push) is a show called Wunderkammer Cabinet. Yes, if you know German the title is redundant -but hey! We thought just calling it Wunderkammer would be too vague for the average non-German speaker.

My husband and I gave this large oak cabinet to myself late last fall as a Christmas, new baby <:(  present. Sheila saw it and thought it would be great for a collective show. Now that time has passed since our sons still birth and I feel ready to get back into my studio, Sheila and Nat have helped me get me into the studio to get this project off the ground. Where do they get their energy?!? The posters for the artists call are letterpress printed using hand set wood and metal type  and computer printed for the body copy.

Too sad to think.

Hello,

Our son, Kai, was still born at 38 weeks.
We had found out the previous day that he was not breathing.
Labour was induced that afternoon and Kai was brought into this world the next morning.

I am taking time off to heal physically and emotionally with my husband and daughter.
I will not be writing or updating for a while.
