Received in October from Emily in Philly!
An upcoming SPORE artist for spring, Emily Peters just sent this gorgeous package out of Philadelphia. This our first communication of an ongoing mail art exchange. Hand-dyed and constructed the neck piece is made of objects that are special to me; bones and trinkets from trips, friends and my parent's farm. The package also included a mold for a key to Emily's apartment and several photo-transfer pieces in need of treading. The package was an old Wheaties box. Beautifully done Emily!

Appalachia Bound
Robert Long's "Still Life: Composition #1 Three Chairs" was installed today. Balancing varnished scraps from discarded chairs the installation resembles a delicate skeletal structure metaphoric in origin that will change with the vibrations of the journey. This is piece one in a three-part series Long is creating for SPORE. The SPORE van itself, with 180,000 miles and ABS issues has had a hectic summer. Fortunately after a hefty mechanic bill she's running splendidly and is outfitting to embark on a three week venture through Kentucky, West Virgina, the Carolinas and Tennessee.
Throughout the venture Emily will be documenting historic Utopian communities, cultural colonies, optimistic homesteaders and visionaries. Sharing also the improvisational chantings of Ghosts I Have Been.
