Open Studios Report

November 16, 2008

We had open studios in Mt. Ranier today, including Sinel/Stewart/Weiss. I neglected to give advance notice here because I like to keep these events as intimate and sparsely attended as possible. Or maybe it's because I'm an idiot. Yeah, that would be it. But anyway, despite my best efforts, we had a good crowd coming through and I met some really interesting people and had some throught-provoking conversations triggered by the manifesto statement from the "Under Surveilance" show that was in the window at Nevin Kelly and which is now on my studio wall.

Continuing the idiot theme, I also forgot to take pictures (although the forgetfulness would also have been aided by the wine flowing throughout the afternoon). But I do have this  picture of my newest big guy on the studio wall. I have been having kind of a blockage the last month or so, so in order to try and work through it, I put a 12 foot long piece of paper on the wall and just started to play. It started before the election but afterward, it got much happier. It's called "November 5, 2008."  Yay. See all the "O"s?

And BTW - If you missed this one - or even if you didn't - we have another open studios event on Saturday, December 13 from 2 - 6. This time the Washington Glass School , home of the fabulously talented trio of Tim Tate, Michael Janis, Erwin Timmers and a bunch of their terrific students, will be holding its famous annual holiday sale at the same time, an event which is not to be missed. 

Sinel/Stewart/Weiss is at 3706 Wells Ave, Mt. Ranier, just across the driveway from the Glass School and a scant two blocks from the DC line, for all you suburb-phobes. Come on out to the land of affordable studio space.
