Pat Lasch, and as our visit progressed I got this sinking feeling I'd encountered her work either taking aesthetics with Larry Bakke at Syracuse or Contemporary Survey with Roberta Bernstein at SUNY Albany. Somewhere along the way I have seen her work, it will come to me.

She's a Peeler! Drying sheets of acrylic gel tar to create things made from it.

Pat Lasch, and everything except the hanger & some of the glittery stones are dried acrylics.

Everything.

Calling Eugenia Pardue!! Check this out my dear.

Contributing to the cause!

LOL this lady is cool! I'm going to be in one of her works, and can also be replicated by future civilizations from the DNA in the hair strands. Fantastic.

Indeed. What a lady.

Edina Seleskovic with admirers, married mother of five from Bosnia splitting her time between studios in Brooklyn and Sarajevo. My lesson from Edina was that as artists we now have global reach. There is no "big show" or breakthrough we need to rely on or hope for. We have the internet, the post office, FedEx and UPS at our disposal. We set up websites and sell pages on whatever platforms we are comfortable with and we ship to buyers in Australia, Thailand, Russia, South America or wherever viewers with web access can glom onto our output.

Edina Seleskovic, I believe?

She's a Mixer! outstanding visit.

GLOBAL REACH.

With my man Bill! Who it turns out doesn't live in a little house under the vats at the plant. But he had Cow Tails and it's always my pleasure to get to enjoy his company.

The Tubes Machine awaits ... Some former graduate student will have that cone fitted over their head so that everything they learned can be SUCKED OUT OF THEIR SKULL and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

Jason Rolf. And yeah, I know. I don't spend enough time in my studio either. This guy is the poster child for our cause. Follow him like "Tommy" and we will be saved.

Jason Rolf. Forgot to ask him what this geodesic grid pattern was about, he sure did a lot of them.

Unreal. The former retail sales associate in me quickly calculated the guy had painted on the order of 112 finished works during his stay and more were drying. That's 30 paintings a week for four weeks, and he explained it as a year of work done in one uninterrupted binge that he could not otherwise indulge in at his home studio environment. And there's my lesson from Jason: You come to the Foundation to do something you couldn't do back at your cave. Interesting.
