I have been hard at work on yet another very time consuming project... I just don't seem to know any other kind! Here is a sneak peek at the first finished piece, 'Right Pointer'. I am crocheting doilies of all ten of my finger prints, an endeavor which should keep me busy for months to come. It has been a great way to wait out the dreary Oregon winter and keep me from getting cabin fever. The finished size of each print is about 10" x 14", give or take depending on the finger. I am very excited by the project, and even more excited by the fact I now have a place to exhibit it. It is going to be shown in June at one of my favorite P-town galleries, PDX Contemporary Art. It is going to be in the PDX Window Project, which is a window installation space that looks out onto the street.I am also working on another magnet installation, which I also hope to exhibit this summer. Lots of work ahead of me, but probably not much to report for a while. So stop by periodically to see what is new, and hopefully I will have some more pictures and video documentation to add in the next few months.

Looks great! How do you transpose the fingerprint whorls to the doily? Was it Robert Smithson who did his fingerprint as earth art? Interesting to me is that no fingerprint can be left on the material itself which is a twist. Thread spun like DNA another body ID method....
