The Past

...in Hawaii I made white things, too...these were rain bowls that slowly melted and broke down as they got wet.  I prefer to make things that are not permanent in any because I am not permanent in any way whatsoever!
Aria and I after the milk bath!  HA!!  Kiitos!  Wheres the sauna/avanto?
I have been thinking of Finland quite a bit lately.  This is an image of a piece I did there in 2005, the milk bath in Aarne's massive tub sculpture.  It was very cold and the photograph does not include Jetti the reindeer who was also part of the piece (he is in other images).  I must admit to loving the monochrome of winter, visually.  Those of you who know me know how I love white and neutrals.  Perhaps I am percolating on a new piece, taking in some previous places and projects and re-evaluating them.  Something is afoot...I feel that Pippilotti Rist really poked me at MoMA last weekend in New York in a similar way that Janine Antoni really poked me at IMMA in Dublin in 1995...

Thanks gsb! Here I am, 10 years ago before the nightmare...which brought me to where I am now.  Such is the dream of life, I guess- the horrible and wonderful all becoming undifferentiated.
