Bearing Weight s a ceramic installation in which I’ve built crude. improvised skeletal structures from various us clays, surface materials and found objects to articulate the ways in which injury and memory inform new systems of functioning. inform new syste1ns of functioning. I’ve paired this body of work with an informal workshop that I’ll he hosting with Vicki as a part of her of her Soup is Love series. On that day I’ll speak briefly to my thoughts behind the work, as well as demonstrate building basic forms with coil and slab.

OUR LIVES ON THE ROAD
Last week, in Salislaw Oklahoma, at a gas station, Vicki passed a raffle table run by the local VFW.
She was told for $5, she could win a great prize
What prize, she queried? A handgun.
To which I have so many questions:
• Do they do background checks?
• Could a 6 year old buy a raffle ticket?
• Would they sell to an Arabic speaking purchaser?
• Also, would the VFW allow non-foreign-war veterans into their clubs?
Would they really kick out civil war veterans?
• Why a handgun, instead of a hunting rifle. Do they dislike liquor store owners and cabbies?
• And finally, would they have even spoken to her had she been walking with a 68 year old hippie?
