many thanks to everyone who visited open studios in November. and thanks to everyone who helped! It was a lovely time with compelling and memorable conversations, both with strangers and friends.
In non-HRAHLI news, I’m delighted to be a part of this exhibit opening next week, showing my fuzzy hinge.

really looking forward to open studios this year, as I’ve finished Drey’s bed and have arranged things so you can walk into the room area and be in it. will be sharing little details here and on IG at @arielko13
next: building the cardboard walls and painting them to look like waterfall wallpaper
September 15, 2023 it felt so nice to finish this Shake Who Choked on a Crabapple. I made an armature of styrofoam and wire, with smooshed kneaded erasers for the apple, in 2007. these past few days, I covered it with nylon stocking and several layers of PVA, painted it white with charcoal markings, colored in the markings with acrylics, made eyes and a tongue, and mounted it to some cardboard I constructed to look like a wooden base.
This is a milk snake that Drey finds out at the Flying Saucer. He opens it up, eats the apple, and then re-stuffs it with his own taxidermy materials.
august 2023 just a few scenes from Drey’s room
