Yesterday, a friend from out of town came to see the birds I have in the Garage Gallery. We were greeted by this guest who had placed itself perfectly. Everyone is a critic, but my friend, who is a well-known writer, said the work had "an eerie beauty, both unworldly and of this world at once." He is not the first person to say they are unworldly - perhaps I should add that word to my artist statement.

This is Professor. He is available, sans spider, at the gallery until the end of the month.
