The first week at Pilchuck as an Emerging Artist in Residence has been spent researching and planning in the best way I know how: compile, alter, and tinker. My fellow EAiRs are exceptional artists, and very knowledgable, and it has been great to observe their work process and discuss ideas and technical concerns with them. I look forward to seeing our shared studio space change as our individual projects evolve. Below are a couple snapshots of my work table, and some inspirations for the direction of my work:
My table.
The Vibroplex semiautomatic Morse Code paddle.
Caption reads: Edison listens to his wax cylinder phonograph at 5:30 A.M. on June 16, 1888. Genius, he said, was one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
The Berliner gramophone, circa 1894.
