Opening

The opening last night had great turnout for such a rainy and miserable evening. I rode out to Newark with Carol and Kane and they stayed for a good while visiting and checking out the work. Other notable faces from our crew were Thomas and Bethany, Adam and Nicole, and Emily and Carrie Anne. It's always hard at openings to figure out how to get to spend a decent amount of time visiting with everyone.



A bunch of people that Stephen works with at the Newark Museum came as well and it was so nice to finally meet them and put faces with names.



This is a shot of David's bird powered drawing machine. The cage contains motion and sound sensors that detect the finches movements and chirps. Their movement causes the entire mechanism to spin around, it stops when they stop. Their calls dictate the movement of the arm containing the Sharpie and thus a drawing is produced. David sold this drawing to someone at the show. He hadn't even thought about pricing it because it's not usually something people want to buy! No complaints.



Stephen and David's work went together seamlessly.



There was an open studio night in Jersey City last night so we were all afraid no one would make the trek to Newark for Red Saw. Thankfully we were wrong! There was an early wave of museum friends and others and then a slight break for about 20 minutes and then the place started filling up again as the Jersey City crowd trickled in.



I think this installation looks like something you might see in an old geology professor's office. I feel like there should be pipe smoke wafting about.



The drawing in the lower left corner of this photo sold too. The Martins are now the proud owners of a Stephen.









Saltines. Cleverness.



Here is the gang afterwards grabbing a late dinner.

The show is going to be up for a month so if you are reading this and want to take a look please stop by.
