my latest piece, she's come undone, which originated from a photo shoot with a model arranged by jerry (instructor) for a class, and consists of squares of photographic images of a woman's skin on japanese paper sewn with transparent "thread", is coming along. i only had 15 min with the model (all that was allowed in the class setting), and there was some overlap in the photos, as it was my first time trying this idea, so i don't have a lot of photos to make up the squares.

this is a prelude to where my heart, my mind, my soul (, my body?*) touch. after working through and sketching out some ideas, i had mike help me take close up photos of the surface of my body from head to toes. since i'm liking how the tests are turning out, i will start editing and cropping the photos for the final piece, which will hopefully be approx. 6 ft. tall and spiral from ceiling to floor and include strings of lights on the inside.

*i'm still debating on whether to include this in the title as it is suggested in "my heart" which could have a double meaning - both feeling and physical
