In Transit(ion)

Well, survived the hail/tornadoes in Chicago to make it safely to the prairies of Minnesota, my new home for the next two months.  It was dark by the time I arrived, but I met some new friends, saw Minneapolis for the first time and moved into my new digs.  The view the next morning of the sun rising over cornfields filled with enormous sculptures was amazing to say the least.  50 degree weather in May was... not so amazing, but luckily there is lots of work to be done around the park to keep me warm!  It's not all manual labor, though -- these peaceful and beautiful surroundings are inspiring all kinds of ideas  for the new work I'll be producing.  I have a feeling that I'll continue working with fabric and yarn that, though dealing with sculpture that has to be weatherproof is certainly a new challenge.  On the bright side, I hear the temperature the next few days is going to be in the 60's, so hopefully the ideas will keep flowing and I'll post some pictures soon.
