A few select photographs from a shoot I did awhile back at the new Haworth headquarters in Holland, Michigan. The building is gorgeous with tons of natural light.

Today Mike hung some clothesline in the backyard. Perfect because the painting dries faster out in the sun and breeze. I also like seeing this project become a reality. I have a long ways to go and the end of the tunnel is no where in sight, but seeing the dresses pinned up in a row gives me a bit of encouragement that has been lacking the last few days.

Painting one hundred dresses for ArtPrize is not as easy and quick as one might think. OK, I knew it would be a time consuming endeavor. Since the deadline is SOON, I’m looking for ways to speed up the process. Screen printing, rubber stamp, fabric dye are a few ways I can think of making the dress factory production go quicker and maintain my sanity. Here are a few sites I may explore in the next few days:
I’ll add more later.

the book, originally uploaded by yodraws.
If you get a chance to read this book, do. Be warned, though, you may cry. I picked it up at the library a couple of years ago to read with India. It planted a seed. A seed that eventually became the main inspiration for the Dresses Like the Sky installation I’m creating for ArtPrize 2009. Others have found this book moving as well. Take a look here, here and here.
