Bucio<->Palermo

Hello Everyone,

My dear friend and former studio-mate, Astrid Bucio, and myself have been collaborating on and off for some time now. She and I decided to follow in the footsteps of our friends, here, and start an art exchange blog. It will work by one of us posting a piece and the other reacting to it to create a response and so on in a cyclical progression. You can find the blog here. I am very excited to be a part of it and can't wait to see what comes of it. I hope you all enjoy it too.

This semester is just about over. I'm finishing up papers as I type this. I cleaned out my paper making/book arts flat file and locker yesterday. Brought home a lot of great stuff to work with. I don't have much in the way of finished pieces to show, but here is a pulp painting I found buried in that flat file. I also finished a found object book made from an old telephone from the 50s. I unfortunately don't have pictures to show due to the fact that my teacher took it to put in a display cabinet. Eventually...

Also, I have been looking at a lot of Native American blankets for inspiration lately. Here is one of my favorites.
