Coming Soon!

Alright, let’s get that ol’ period of mourning out of the way for the studio!

I am happy to announce, after almost a year of searching for suitable solutions in a website, gathering data and stumbling through not really knowing how to operate a PHP-driven gallery, the DPCA Project is getting ready to launch!

The Dimensional Planar Character Artifact project is a photographic documentation gallery which functions in conjunction with ideas presented in the Machina Non Verus Manifesto. Ideally, I would like to release the Manifesto at the same time as the DPCA Project, but I keep having problems with producing a satisfactory version of the Manifesto for online viewing.

(Come to think of it, “getting ready” is a highly relative term; if I try to make more than gross contractors’ estimates I know I’ll jinx everything. Just stay tuned.)

 

Studio 4A, RIP

Well, with the help of my husband and one of his buddies, I cleaned out the straggling dregs of the garage Friday night. There it stands, a gaping hole. Well, almost gaping. That pile in the back is a sculpture that I couldn’t ever finish called “Spindle.” It hung on like one of those cuts on your cheek: annoying and painful. So, I dragged it unceremoniously to the compactor and pressed the button until I could no longer hear the wood cracking and smashing the damn thing to bits.We actually started on Thursday night. The moment I stepped foot in the studio, I could feel tears coming on. Michael seemed to sense this and handed me my pick-axe and asked if I wanted to smash the two desks we had to move rather than find a new home for them. Senseless destruction helped to vent my anger and frustration as well as get rid of two large pieces of furniture that could previously not fit into the compactor. That, and there’s a sense of juvenile satisfaction to be had in leaving tiny pieces of wood and screws all over the parking lot. Bah. Take that apartment management.

Hell, I shouldn’t be so mopey about it, but it’s one of those “principle” things I like to hold a long-standing grudge about. So long, Studio 4A. I suppose now I’m in “Studio Guest Bathroom” until we buy our new house. Phooey.
