Dusting off the cobwebs

I hope everyone had a happy holiday. Sorry I've neglected the blog for nearly two months now, but it's not because I haven't had anything to say. In fact, I've got a lot on my mind, but until now I haven't been able to overcome the inertia to actually write about it. So, I'm just going to outline a few things to get started, and I'll try to follow up on each one of the topics in more detail in future posts.

1. I'm going to finish up a few things and close my studio in a few months. For various reasons, I haven't used it very much in the last 2 months (although I have been working from home), and I'm starting to feel guilty about the wasted the rent money.

2. I'm actively looking for locations to permanently place 2 artworks. The pieces are the small concrete barricades from Keeping the Powder Dry and the concrete bombs from Dead End. In the interest of minimizing my possessions and starting from scratch, I am trying to get rid of a lot of stuff, but I am unwilling to trash these two projects.

3. I am going to work at an archaeological dig in Egypt for two weeks in January. I'm pretty excited about this, and I will follow-up soon with more details and the nature of my job.

So that's it for now. I've also recently seen some exhibitions/watched some movies/read some books, which I might write about soon. The truth is, I'm not much of a blogger, but you can at least count on more details on the three items above soon.
