REMEMBER ME?!

DEAR FRIENDS,

Remember me?! 

It's your old (and might I add neglected) pal Sculpture Culture.

It's been a while, I know. 

You've been busy.

I've been dealing with some tough times, damn that mecury in retrograde.

But, it's high time we reconnect.

Don't you think?

Even if we just spend a few minutes with each other.

Come on.

Let's give it a try.

Always and forever,

Sculpture Culture

P.S.

Will ya take a look at this! 

Tara Donovan.

This is a good reminder of what you can do with the most simple objects.

AND the magicalness that happens when you make something "grow" or make it "bigger."

They are open business hours.

Diana Al-Hadid Opens @Hammer May 15

This piece made me think of both Tamara's (for it's emotive character) and Laura's (for it's geometry & organized structure) works.

Hi, Everyone.
So, I'm confused.
When was (is) spring break?
See, I'm in a parallel universe right now.
But Mariah's new groovy blog might tether me a bit.
Shouldn't we post about the show that all you guys are curating in Santa Ana next week?
And, will there be crucified squirrels around?
I'll take my camera, and maybe take some gallery shots tonight. There is one ceramic sculptural installation there that I loved.
And, yes, I'm sure I need to shut up and get to work.

A Word About Posting

So, correct me if I'm wrong, I've never made a blog before, but if you want to post something I must invite you as an author. So, email me at mariahcc@mac.com and I'll invite you. You'd think there'd be a setting where anyone can post? But, I haven't found it.

Sat reception - Vicki has a piece at 2nd City Council

Earth opens Saturday, 7-9pm

at 435 Alamitos Ave 90802

It's about time!!

Dear Sculpture Club Kids,
This enormous amount of time (this weekend plus two days of spring break) we've spent apart, I realized we NEED a blog. What with Dao leaving us soon and Don's in Egypt! I mean, honestly, it's high time we start blogging. Now, I know what you're thinking... "Shouldn't you be working on your foot fetish website?" Yes. Yes, I should. And we all know Coleen is thinking, "Shouldn't you be working on your project?" And Dao is probably thinking "which restaurants do I need to hit up before I leave for Chicago and where can I find a cute wool beanie in California in the the springtime?" (Good Luck!). Anyways, the point is... I'm taking the time away from working on my sculpture (no, I'm not procrastinating, that's ridiculous) to make this blog because we all know each other so well and I think we have something special (as Ashton starts singing some cheesey love song from the 70's). We're a part of a group of people that are actually interested in each other's ideas and projects and because of that-- we have created a really great atmosphere for growing and sharing and learning... okay, now i'm making myself sick. Maybe I'm just on a sugar high from all those chocolate bunnies, but I think this blog could be nice, you know, if someone wants to share a link to a good website they found, or talk about a material they started using that they want to share, or Adam can post a youtube video, or Dao can post pictures of what she's working on in Chicago, or recipes, or people can post writing or whatever! ANyways, I just want you all to know that I'm so happy to be a part of the cool kids sculpture club at LBCC. I really appreciate the friendships I've made with you all and being a part of your art making process.
Much love and treats,
Mariah

PS I just re-read what I wrote and it's clear that I've got all of your voices stuck in my head... so even when I'm not working on something in class, I've got you in my head... for example: Adam is telling me to add eyes/goggles to the blog and Coleen is telling me to shut-up and get to work. And with that--off I go.
