Wednesday

Today was a difficult day with a number of unexpected hurdles. Artist Richard Brachman appeared onsite in the afternoon at the perfect moment to shift our momentum into high gear, earning a well deserved beer later at the Half Shell. Tomorrow will prove to be a better day.

I want to mention the accomodations. This place is wonderful. Not only is there a beautiful canal lined with mangroves out the back, but I'm also lucky to share the house with a number of other talented artists. I've posted a picture of the 'backyard'. Ron ( who I mentioned in an earlier post) was here with his articulate and impressive assisant- his seventeen year old daughter Annie. She helped him build a beautiful minimal architectural adobe structure relating to the surrounding forts. Karen McCoy and Robert Carl, who are creating a very interesting collaboration of sculpture and sound, are also housemates. I will post more photos later.
