First semester: Complete!

This is an update on whats brewing in my studio:  I've started an installation project with a fellow classmate with a focus on invasive species (I will elaborate when we figure out what that will mean for this piece).  We have several spaces that are available for a week at a time at school for display of artwork and to experiment with.  We will be aiming to get one of those, but possibly rent a space in Pomona as well, to get some public reaction.  I'm crocheting this "model" of skin cells... I'm saying that loosely because its a loose interpretation and its taken on other connotations since its original conception.
  We want to space that we install to feel taken over, or overrun with this stuff.  That means there will be a huge amount needed.  I'm on ball-of-yarn number 3.  The picture shows two balls of yarn.  I have a lot to go, but the good news is, it doesn't take too long.
