Friends near and far! One more month to see Another Place: Storymaking the Entangled Prairie, at the Krannert Art Museum on the campus of University of Illinois. If you’re passing through on a wild summer road trip, stop in to see this show! Works by myself, Joel Ross, Ryan Griffis, Emmy Lingscheit, Steven Signa Aviles, Sharath Ramakrishnan, Stacy Robinson, Nekita Thomas, and Brooke White. Curated by the inimitable Terri Weissman with assistance from Lilah Leopold. My work is an installation that will never be installed the same way, so come see it before it comes down July 3rd. Champaign Urbana is in quiet, sleepy, summertime mode!

Merry happy everything! We continue our tradition of using the dog’s crafted tree topper. Recognize him? Bumble, or the abominable snowman, from the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. They got a Bumble toy as part of their Bark Box a few years back, and quickly reduced him to just his head. I think he makes the best tree topper ever. Happy holidays! The girls in a festive mood, admiring their creation.
