Tumbleweeds and Crazy Animals...


It's like a ghost town in here...where the heck are you ladies? Must be super busy - ness because I know a whole lot of fancy The Other Woman ish went down this past week, involving saucy windows with partial nudity, fancy openings and photo shoots and above all else, crepes and peninas.

Anywho, with all this hub-bub, my brain is rip raring to go on this upcoming project I have to start...A crazy animals take over a house installation. I did a piece on this subject for Petit Fours, a show of miniature work by The Other Woman at Arcadia Boutique earlier this year but it ended up as more of a maquette for grander plans in my head...And when approached by the Art Alliance to create a room specific installation, I knew this would be the best fit. The space is an old mansion and the first floor is chock full o' architechtural detail, similar to what I loved about the space in the Barclay for my January show at CFEVA. Right now I'm working out how many pieces, what animals, what are they doing, where can I get furniture that will work, etc etc etc...

I feel like there's alot of opportunity to create some crazy pieces but want it to read as realistic and believable as possible...I want viewers to walk in and for their experience to be as if they just got home after a long trip and found out that all these animals had taken over their house...and these animals are all still there trashing the place and are all of a sudden staring, maybe even looking a bit hungry...oh my oh my....I'm getting all even more excited!

Here are some photos of the space (with some crazy amazing installation in it! I don't know the artist's name but its really fabulous)...any thoughts???
