I'm happy to report that it was accepted into the Juried Visual Art Exhibition at Pittsburgh's annual Three Rivers Arts Festival, so if you are in Pittsburgh, you have the chance to see it in person and play with the cool mechanical contraption on its side. The public opening is Friday June 7th from 5pm to 7pm at the Trust Education Arts Center, 505/508 Liberty Ave. Hope to see you there!
I am eager to check this out...as a young boy I remember my Grandmother having one of these things....we played with it all the time...I never thought of it until you started posting about working on this piece.
ReplyDeleteI just thought it was the coolest thing when I saw it! Hope you get a chance to come check it out. Are you selling anything at the festival this year?
DeleteI missed this - congrats! I look forward to seeing it in person.
ReplyDeleteI found this Audobon project and thought it was right up your alley:

My mother-in-law sent that to me too! Such a neat project, and a wonderful participatory way to remember 100 years of their extinction. Thanks for sharing it with me!
