The hardest working lazy slob ever...

I had a rough night last night. First I jumped through a fire only to really hurt my knee, then I saw my own reflection in the mirror, and realized how out of shape I am. It always seems to happen, I never exercise, then do something remotely aerobic, and wind up with a pulled something or the other. It Inspires good work though, at least work that I think is fun to make.

Speaking of which, this is the newest piece I have completed at Franconia. It has a little more allure in person, as it is a kinetic sculpture of sorts. I am pleased with the results, but The park hates it and wants me to do something else... too bad I guess, Maybe the people of Washington DC will like it more. We will have to find out this fall.

In other exciting news, Lori Greenblatt is my featured Franconia artist this time around. A jersey girl to the bone, Lori received her BFA from Alfred University In 2006. Focusing mainly on metal casting her work deals with issues of femininity and a reflection on her own personal frailty and Ailments.

This work, along with others, that she is making out here, has been a departure into using other materials such as steel and Fiberglas resin. The new materials and methods she has been using are vastly improving her work at an impressive pace. I will give you two slides since she has no website to link to...








Lori currently lives and shows in New Jersey and New York.


I am going to go ice my knee.
