Just so you know i have been working, here's a couple of the projects that are underway. For about 5 months now i've been covering a union suit in transparent sequins with pink thread. This piece is called BIRTHDAY SUIT and will hopefully end up as a performance piece. It's very repetitive work and often requires that i stop to get the feeling back in my hand or shoulder. I think of it as my gay skin.

here's a close up of a couple of square inches to give you an idea of the surface. It's quite lovely in a Liberace sort of way.

Aother of the projects i'm working on involves buying used clothes and going to the cemetery and photographing them displayed on tombstones. Its a fun sort of game and i like wandering around cemeteries, and i like how the cloth contradicts the stones. This one is at Pere Lachaise.

Love it~The cloths on the tombstones some how seems to me like they are "defying death" stating "we are still here"! ( in a Made in China way, unless they are French cloths)
