my chipboard form finally came off for friday's critique in concrete culture. i don't know if it was quite what i expected, but there was definitely a moment of parental pride when it was fully revealed. despite the struggles (figuring out how to get to home depot, schleping around 4 4x8 ft pieces of chipboard, grossly over-estimating my cement and sand order, having to learn how to really use a drill, taking 6 hours longer than i should have to mix and pour the concrete, which left my weak arms and legs sore for the next two days, etc., etc.) i think this might be my favorite class. it's something very different and very demanding. and, after so many dry discussions of type placement and color choice, it was nice to be back singing kumbayah during a critique. i do think that my next piece will be scaled down in size significantly, though...
ps. i think cathy is planning on posting pictures she took of everyone's pieces is the near future, so i'll link to them all asap.

i forgot to tell you - on the snow day this past monday, a bunch of kids were at the station building to go sledding down the hill. your sculpture was piled with snow in the courtyard, and i saw a kid use it as a fort!
