nice...thanks for putting up these images and for including the whole show in particular. it'd be easy to just post your own stuff, but it's better to keep the group show intact i think.

i like the soft pieces, but particularly the pair strapped to the wall. i like the way they're strapped, that it draws attention to itself as strapping and so, in the photo anyway, lends a kind of air of suffocation to the piece--like they're lungs inhaling that are prevented from doing it by the wires.

the concrete poem/assemblage of cubes is cool. are you thinking of it as a sculpture or as a poem? seems like the latter from the image....i like the piece and i like the words, but wonder how you link the two, if you do---or what might happen if you played with the relation between the words and setting, and so made something like this more explicit a concrete poem.

some of the other folk's pieces i like, some i don't: it's like that in most shows.
your things and one or two others i would be inclined to go back to look at more, though.
it's not often i think that way after seeing a show...

thanks again for posting the images.
