slow dunk

i woke up late today, the room dark with curtains drawn shut. i have, in fact, slept all morning. to make up for missing the group walk today, i plan my activity of yoga this evening and pack my mat to bring to the studio. today i have to keep at my layers, with seven more thin and a few thick to complete by tomorrow night. i will stick near the sculpture shop.

at lunch, Jen and Jen and Chris and Will crack me up. Satellite Bureau is working on a new project, which they brainstorm at the table. i take photos and listen intently. amazingly enough, there are chicken sandwiches on offer at lunch. i am pleased. i miss sandwiches, as i was just telling Jen last night. is that a sandwich you've just made up yourself, she asks me at the table. no, they actually made sandwiches today, how bout that! desert includes a maple ice cream, yum.

back at the studio, i make a pass through the dunk room. some of my wax air vents have come loose from the pinecones, hovering near but definitely not connected. i am saddened, they look sad to me these detached "arteries". the coats take longer than hoped to dry today so it is going slow. i will be here all night again, i know.

we do get to pick up our paper today, it is dry! Jen and I are quite thrilled with our accomplishments. we have made paper!
