Here is a door on Pine Street that we have walked by many times going to the lot where our van is parked near UARTS. One day I saw a heavily tattooed, rather diminutive woman standing on the porch step pushing the door bell. As I walked closer I heard a rather loud BUZZZZZ from inside and she walked in. As I passed the door I looked into the window and saw what appeared to be a deep cavern with faint, yellow light bouncing off a thousand shiny facets. I continued to walk about 10 paces and stopped. I could not pass this up.

Horsing around in NYC
Beth has a friend, Prentice, who is in the NYC production of War Horse. Through his connections, we were able to take a day trip to NYC to see the show, which was INCREDIBLE! The show was mind-blowing the entire time and to top it all off, Prentice was the head of War Horse! Here is Beth with Prentice after the show. Prentice was extraordinarily nice and I am so thankful to him for securing a few tickets for us.
Odds n' ends
This posting is a melange of photos I've taken the past two months. Some are images of things that struck my fancy and others are a few of the MANY great times I've had here at the International Turning Exchange residency.
Below is a photo of a small foyer of a building near 13th and Walnut. I am love with this wallpaper and couldn't resist photographing it and sharing with you all. Isn't it just fabulous?!?!
Familiar faces
This photo was taken at the end of the day during our open house on July 16. Behind Beth are two of our new friends that we met at Echo Lake when we first arrived. I am thankful to them all, especially Joe Seltzer, for inviting us to participate in such a rewarding event and for all of his correspondence to help facilitate our participation.

Open your eyes, yo!
The I.T.E. residency program is SOOO much more than holing oneself up in the studio making things. Instead, it's about being exposed to new things, places and people. We've been very fortunate to have been exposed to all of these things. These photos were taken at the many museums I've visited during this residency.
The photo below was taken at the National Gallery in DC. The sculptures are by Brancusi. Beautiful and elegant.

Expanding waistlines
OK, so if Albert really wants the I.T.E. experience to be about a cultural exchange and food=culture, then I am definitely chock full of culture at this point. I'm very good at eating; I've had LOTS of practice at it. I was pretty skilled before arriving here but, by now, my eating skills are crazy mad razor sharp. Take a look below at all of the exercises in cultural exchange taking place.
Here is Beth experiencing a taste of Latin America in the form of flan. MMMM, creamy.
