oh great

well, while there is good news, my projects have progressed nicely and were looking like they were going to be finished way before spring break, and i would have plenty of time to work out installation. however, my right along schedule came to an abrupt halt when i found out that there is no longer any resin at LAB and there won't be an order made until spring break, so basically, i have no material to finish my thesis. awesome. the specific type of resin we use is on backorder and i'm in the middle of 3 pours that need the same resin to be finished. now i have to either spend time and/or money trying to find more of this resin before it's too late, or compromise my work to declare them finished and installable prematurely.
i am not happy.

  1. Yo Shub,
    I was certain that you would resolve your crisis before installation and your final results are amazing. Your pours are so interesting; they allude to some earthly component like a fossil or an article of the ocean, but their plasticity and artificial color draw me back to the fact that they're man-made. Of all the thesis projects I have had access too, yours seems the most tangible. The intimate size and candy-like attraction they send out is truly tempting-- but cearly viewers aren't allowed to touch-- basically your pours are a tease. Brilliant!
