Hola! I want to shout out a THANK YOU to all of you that have been reading our blog. This is a grand experience and we are so happy to share some of our stories with you.Building is strong and steady. I must give props to Jon, he works hard yet patiently on the job site. The dome structure really started taking shape using the beautiful scrap pieces of wood from locally grown trees. The reds looked especially stunning in the sunlight as we started weaving pieces into the frame. The picture above offers a glimpse of the rickety ladder that makes for a thrilling job-site aura.
Learning from Richard's artistic process has geared our focus towards paying heed to the "vernacular" aesthetics within the environment we reside in. This evening we were offered a chance to share our own photographic research of Santa Cruz. Through our awesome new friend Andrea, we met an energetic group of young artists- Javiera, Kelly, Andres, Marcus, Marco. Javiera invited us to be a part of her "urban installation" event this coming weekend. Coincidently, the theme of the exhibition has been our photographic obsession for the past two weeks: Santa Cruz. The idea is to hang up from 5 to 10 photos on a chosen street corner in the center of the city on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we show our photographs in the main plaza, Manzana Uno, as a collective. We are so appreciative of this opportunity!
