Heres'a piece by Albert Paley
Its in Asheville so we went over to check it out


Albert told me a story that when it was erected
outside some municipal building

alot of people got upset by it
He said that he went down to unveal it and give a speech
and the people who organized he event told him they had to rent
a larger hall to fit the like 500 upset ashvillites
He went down and spoke before an unruly crowd
xplained the process and how his work evolved to this point .
He told me he won some over

When i was working ona similar piece in FLOrida people were driving by me
yelling at me that it was ugly and cursing at me
Two electricians showed up and told me they were talking about it on the morning radio station
Fun
I was there alone
and when albert showed up for the unveiling they provided him with two police escorts

Hey everybody

Srory we cut out over the weekend
but some hacker ( probably fron the wi-fi at the hotel)

when i clicked on it my computer when crazy and started scanning for virus
It happened to Jay also

There were like 200 people n the hotel wi-fi

Hey Raina your dad sold another scarf

One of Art's new pots

JOIN THE MULLITIA

The Poor Maid
Day 2

Today i mixed grout
and added dry pigment to it in the bathroom

I then grouted a small table
A hotel bathroom is a great place to do work like this
itsa ful of towels and you really dont have to clean that well

at least the grout is proably easier to clean than wet hair

This is arties repro both
he was having trouble getting his pots done in time
but he put some lamps together
and with the addition of Raina's scarves
the booth really came together





People seem to really love
his new stuff

Maybe he'l cheer up

this post is for raina

Hey Raina
check it out
i went and got a silver peg board at lowes
and some hooks and lights





They look great
your dad sold one already
