If so many of you hadn't made such great comments about my art I would've flayed Nadya for posting that last pic!!! Because of you all the embarrassment is totally worth it. Thank you!! @ Kale Kip- I'm especially glad you made that comment, because it's very similar to what I wrote in my artists statement and I was really hoping it wasn't just a load of BS! I know my work seems very Philly, Nadya, but don't forget-- Philly is just a Post-Apocalyptic version of New York in the Seventies with half the population dead from a plague and the surviving half left grossly disfigured. Very similar to the real NYC of the late seventies where I spent my most sponge-like years! Does anyone else besides me have to sudden urge to start carrying around disgusting things in suitcases?? Awwww, shucks y’al!!

Reminds me of childhood days spent exploring disused boathouses, lighthouses and old cabins! The treasures I'd find. The things that weren't treasures to anyone but me! Indeed, 'lady is an artist I needed to hear of. Thanks. Ah! Reminds me of childhood days spent exploring disused boathouses, lighthouses and old cabins! The treasures I’d find.

It is like watching a story unfold. Love this. All those little details seem so much in place, but I can’t really put my finger on it. It is like watching a story unfold. Love this.

While it might be verboten, looking at the sculptures makes me want to run my hands across them, explore each crevice, each bump, each jagged edge (wow, did that sound pornographic). Also makes me want to put my face up real close see what they look like from an inch away. I'm not typically an art-appreciator (one of my many failings) but these works intrigue me like little else ever has. Thanks to Nadya for the post, and Nyx Blalock for the beautiful art.

I'd love to see them up close... they have the same deliciously tactile, textured quality that work by many of my favorite sculptor/collagist/installation artists do. And I love that last pic so much. Those smiles are contagious. These are fantastic!
