Not my most serious artwork to date, but it’s still creating …
Don is my Knight in Shining Armor ... so I made this for him today ... *swoon*
So after so much-needed purging and cleaning of my tiny nostril of an apartment, I decided it was time to make my sweet Dove, Don a little gift for when he arrives tonight. We are the lovely nerdy couple who love our Sci-Fi and pulp as only true nerds would … so, the inspiration for this piece.
In preparation for the move from my nostril-sized studio to a one bedroom in a new neighborhood of the city, I have begun another purge of possessions … going all-out minimalist as my sweet Don is an all-out minimalist … with the exception of books … those are for keeps. So in purging I found my art supplies I have not seen in months, a very needed thing now that I am on a break from class …
Visual art helps me put things in order among my constant inner and outer disorder … so the purging will also help me to finish my new chapbook, due out in August, called Doll Work. Keep checking in on www.carriemcgath.com to be updated on the release of the book, as well as readings throughout the Midwest including my new city of Chicago and my old city of Kalamazoo.
Happy, creative summer, everyone!
