Clearly I have been neglecting this blog, so allow me to provide a little update about what I've been up to.

I am currently finishing up some big prints and packing up all my belongings in preparation for my move to Northampton, Massachusetts! Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures in July after I get settled. In the fall I'll begin teaching intaglio and drawing at Smith College, which is very exciting. I'm also looking forward to diving into some new projects after all the distractions and chaos of the past few months.

Apollo 16 astronauts Ken Mattingly and John Young (fashion pioneer)

Speaking of distractions, a while ago I supplemented my astronaut "research" by starting this tumblr blog. But I have no excuse for my newest one about astronaut fashions. 

THIS IS SERIOUS RESEARCH ABOUT SCIENCE, OKAY?

Stamping Area

 

I thought it would be difficult to get people to let me stamp their faces. Nope.

Sooo I did a little project for this year's SGC conference at the old Alma Mater. 51 stamps were involved. So were 5 faces, 3 US passports, some legal tender, and countless hands, wrists, and name tags. You can rest assured that a large percentage of conference attendees were stamped and provided with documentation that has no bearing on anything whatsoever (except perhaps on the validity of their passports).

Hey, Printmakers!

Are you going to SGC in St. Louis this week?

Perhaps I will see you. I will be there conducting Official Business. It will be very Official.

Astronaut Jungle

I'm pretty excited about the collaborative drypoints my beginning etching students made! Each person got a section of metal and a section of a photograph to interpret using the drypoint techniques of their choice. Then we printed them together in a grid to reveal none other than Mercury astronaut John Glenn. I kept jokingly referring to him as "Astronaut John Glenn" while we were editioning the print, but apparently I was not speaking clearly because everyone thought I was saying "Astronaut Jungle." Obviously, that became the title.
