new line from (h(om)e) : 1911

quick shoot last night for (h(om)e). The new line is a collaboration between Soar-printing and (h(om)e)-design and construction. If you are in Minneapolis on Thursday head over to Gallery 360 to try one on... they are really comfortable!

Photographing new bags by (h(om)e) this afternoon. You can see the new digs at shoo this friday night - April 18, 2009 Milwaukee's Spring Gallery night.

rochester to new york city...

by way of Amtrak. The train was a pleasant experience with a beautiful vista of the Hudson River for the first 5 hours then news of the delay spread and the energy on the crowded cars grew more anxious.


theanyspacewhatever show at the Guggenheim was a treat as well as seeing the Catherine Opie show before it closed.



Justine and I had a great time catching up during the short weekend visit. See her new G10 - yes I had camera envy. Justine just launched her website - check it out here.

Heather Hambrecht of (h(om)e) was my travel companion last weekend. It was great to have a friend along every step of the way. She too had business in New York - fabric shopping and meetings with boutiques.

My first trip to Mood Fabrics. It was amazing watching heather shop - I had no idea what I was looking at but she was specific, speedy and decisive in her buying.


Home again, Home again. Back to the chilly Wisconsin tundra and the 6 inches of snow...

Sunday was a good day...

heather - 9.14.08

Sunday was a good day. I did some scanning of film from my Hermitage residency... more on that soon. I started working with the shark's teeth I collected while in Florida. And I helped my dear friend Heather of (h(om)e) photograph some of her new pieces. The rainy day proved to be a productive day... free of self analysis I just made work and it felt good.

spr in ter

According to Heather Hambrect of (h(om)e) - sprinter is the "wombo combo of spring overcoming winter." I think the 4 feet of solid ice sprinkled with fresh snow has made a permanent impact on our psyche here in Wisconsin...

Let me tell you about Heather... Her/(h(om)e) handmade leather bags are amazing! I have two and recommend them to all... she makes beautiful messenger bags, laptop bags, purses, clutches, wallets... the list goes on and on. She is incredibly talented and her bags are as much about function as they are about fashion. You can find (h(om)e) bags in Chicago at City Soles, in Milwaukee at shoo or by visiting the (h(om)e) studio.
