A couple things:
I participated in a study of health and retirement info. that included a lot of questions about my "current job," which I described as "self-employed artist."
When do I think I will retire? (Um, never?)
Is EFAC "manufacturing, sales, or service"?
How is (art) made??
What is (art) USED FOR???
It was a bit of a challenge.
I replied to "What is it used for?" with ".......Aesthetics."
EFAC is local.
EFAC is not a chain or franchise.
"What are your main responsibilities?"
"I am irresponsible."
The interviewer typed my answer carefully into the computer.

Both of my Small Things in the Touchstone Gallery show have been sold! Visit Touchstone (Wed-Sun. 12-5) by Feb. 9th if you want to see them in all their rusty, boniness. (Closing reception is Feb. 8th from 6-9; they will not have regular afternoon hours that day, but will be open Sun. 2/9 from 12-5. Also, a few extended hours: Jan. 30 & Feb. 5, the gallery will be open till 8 pm!)
These are pieces I have not sold, which are therefore still available through me (no commission! possible shipping costs!) -- inquire if intrigued.
A fellow artist who was working the floor at Touchstone Gallery yesterday sent me the happy news that both of my pieces in the District 51 show have been sold! I am delighted -- this is my first time in a juried show, and the overall quality of the other artwork on display is so high. It's really a lovely show, with a fabulous variety of mixed media, paintings, encaustics, amazing ceramics, etc. You can see them all (including my little assemblages) until February 9th (Wed-Sun 12-5).

| "Tarmac" and "Climb" |
Still writing "2024" on my rust...

I am in this show: https://www.touchstonegallery.com/exhibits-all/the-district-51
(Two of my tinier pieces will be on view, and for sale. One of them, "Tarmac," was also at DCAC; the other, "Climb," has not yet been shown outside the NIRV.)
The show opens January 9th. It sounds like fun to me -- the application wanted to know my specific connection to the city (I told them, "I pick up bits of art fodder everywhere -- rusty wire, vine wood, rat bones; the city is not only an inspiration but is literally woven into my sculptures...") I'm interested to see what other people contribute.
