El Fin



First off I would like to apologize for the lack of a conclusion. It was a hectic, but successful end to our trip in Bolivia and we found ourselves sucked back into our American lives upon returning to the states. The openings were a complete success. Richard’s show, Experimental ARCHolage (Santa Cruz, Bolivia), was well received by the public and brought in a huge gathering. Yolanda and I were quite surprised to have a large turn up for our show as well. The show titled, Expo Residentes/Crucemos La Calle/, consisted of sculptural studies and drawings by Ruth Ewan, Richard Saxton, Yolanda Chichester, and myself. Being the first show outside the academia for Yolanda and I, it was an amazing experience and a chance to look at what the future awaits for the two of us. The trip ended with a little vacation to see Pre-Incan ruins, the famous photographic site of Che Guevara's death, and helping to make the Butch Cassidy and Sundance film. Now back in the states for a little over a month, we have found ourselves greatly missing all the friends we meet in Bolivia. Yolanda and I built unforgettable relationships with the people of the country along with Ruth and her boyfriend Dan. There is a lot we have taken from this trip and we plan to use all of our knowledge in the future. Stay tuned for more adventures from Proyecto Satélite, as Yolanda and I tackle the tasks of finishing our BFAs and working with the Baseline Group
