Ingesture

Work has been keeping me busy so I'll be back with a 30 for 30 update tomorrow! In the meantime, here is a peek at the Bachelor of Fine Arts exhibition Ingesture at the Central Michigan University Art Gallery on November 20, 2010.
My friend, Margaret (Megan) Mcwhirter along with Taro Takizawa and Seth Sutton showcased their work and presented a little speech about their journey towards their degree. Unfortunately, I did not get any of Seth's work, but below is Megan's "Blue" which I got to help stick to the ground so no one would kick them over on accident. I was so nervous to touch them, especially if they would clink together when I set them down - Eep!



The prints below are done in woodblock by Taro Takizawa. The house highlighted on the left is his house; in his speech he told us he based it off a picture of his street back home in Japan. I'm in luuuurve!



And this, my friends, is Tenmoku. Megan and her boyfriend adopted the second cutest (Of course Adelaide is number one) kitten and the best part is - she has thumbs! Known as Ploy dactyl or my favorite, Hemingway, cats, they have an extra digit which makes it look like they are wearing mittens. She is a Michigander for sure!


She decided to help me pack and I decided that maybe I shouldn't pack her away in the suitcase. I might not have given it a second thought had I not been gushing over with pride after seeing Megan and all of her hard work at the gallery the day before.

Congratulations again, Megan!
