I was there for nine days, visiting local cultural institutions and sites, hiking, camping, wandering the grounds of the tiny Sun Valley resort, and getting swallowed up by the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, all of which was really enjoyable and charming and strange. My hosts were fun and gracious and felt like old friends right away.<br />
<br />
When I got home I spent the next couple of months (around my day job) making twelve paintings to send back for the exhibition. Here are a few (they're all 3x5 inches or so, the size of vintage postcards):<br />

Now the show, <i>Wish You Were Here</i>, is up. I wish I could see it, but I love the sense of it I get from this excellent video they produced (embedded below), and I couldn't be prouder of the company I'm in. Check it!<br />

I had a second opening this week. (It's been a busy time leading up to it all!) This is a solo show in Albuquerque, currently up and running at <a href="http://www.smallenginegallery.com/" target="_blank">Small Engine Gallery</a>, through September 28th. Small Engine is a sweet space run by very cool people.<br />
<br />
The Show, <i>Among the Final Thunders of These Ices</i>, features the larger Arctic paintings and drawings I've been working on this summer, plus a few small studies.<br />

My friends Juan and Sharon played a couple of sets for the opening. I would have come just to hear them! I'm hypnotized by their music and grateful that they so willingly gave the reception a beating heart. Thanks, guys.<br />

My camera apparently only records for ten minutes at a time--which I only found out later when I reviewed the footage--but that was enough to have gotten most of the good stuff in, anyway. :)<br />

Here's the press release summary:<br />
<br />
<i><span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show">During
Wood’s art-centric travels above the Arctic Circle in
September-November 2012, she amassed more than two hundred pages of
journal entries, sketches, and studies of polar and subpolar
environments. The exhibition is a unique window (or porthole, in this
case) into the process of creative research: Wood’s journal will be on
display alongside loose-leaf studies, photographs, works on paper,
documentation of performance work in the field; the first finished works
to result from the journey; and in-progress drafts for upcoming work.</span></span></span></i><br />

Felt great to see so many things I'd been imagining come together. I was happy with the colors and wall text. We built those angled shelves from scratch, recessing one so we could display the journal (and a digital frame cycling through photographs of the pages) in the open, but not in a way that invited people to flip through it much.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last week, I attended the UK Antarctic Science Conference--a bit presumptuous given that I am neither from the UK, involved with the Antarctic, nor a scientist. No one seemed to mind; and while I suspect I understood far less than the average registrant in attendance, I learned a great deal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It happened that the current exhibition at the Polar Museum (pictured in the first two photos above, and yoked with the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge) was some of the work of David Smith, who among many other things, had spent some time at the Halley Research Station (in Antarctica). His lithographs struck me particularly.</span></div>

<br />
But before that, I've got a chance to talk about the trip (along with co-<a href="http://www.thearcticcircle.org/#" target="_blank">ArcticCircle</a>-resident <a href="http://www.christygeorg.com/" target="_blank">Christy Georg</a>) at <a href="http://www.spreadsantafe.com/" target="_blank">SPREAD 3.0</a>, an event in Santa Fe.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
SPREAD is a "micro-granting initiative"--a sort of fund-raising dinner where several finalists (in this case, seven) give presentations about their projects, and everyone in attendance at the dinner (some 250 people who have all paid cash for a ticket in advance) gets a vote for who gets the monies to support their idea. You can check out all the finalists and their projects <a href="http://www.spreadsantafe.com/category/archive/spread-3-0/spread-3-0-finalists/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Tickets to the dinner are on sale to non-SITE-members tomorrow--Thursday the 6th--in Albuquerque at <a href="http://www.acequiabooksellers.com/shop/acequia/index.html" target="_blank">Acequia Booksellers</a> (4019 Fourth Street) from 5-6 pm (I'll be there to help with that effort, which I'm happy about, as it's one of my favorite places to spend time anyway), and then afterwards to Santa Fe folks from 6-7.<br />
<br />
And the event itself is Friday night...just half a planetary revolution before I get on a plane!Cedra Woodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17708743248255621785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820414687341803053.post-63887547210056702032012-08-05T11:35:00.000-07:002012-08-05T11:35:23.466-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Today, in the mail, something I've been anticipating since I first began talking to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LeatherWoodBooks" target="_blank">the person who would become its creator</a>: the journal I'm to take with me on the <a href="http://lightsallaskew.blogspot.com/2012/05/it-would-be-understatement-to-say-that.html#links" target="_blank">Arctic trip</a>.<br />
<br />
A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and a thing of utility, symbolic of adventure and discovery and nascent nostalgia, that happens to also be a thing of beauty--well. Words are useless in the face of such a thing; "joy" is just a word that dissolves into the feel of hand-polished maple being hugged to one's chest.<br />

Many members of the <a href="http://www.casofnm.org/" target="_blank">Contemporary Art Society of New Mexico</a> were in attendance, and all were very supportive. I felt proud and humbled that so many people had volunteered their time and effort to organize this exhibition on our behalves, and had come to hear what we had to say. Sincere thanks to them all.<br />

I've been thinking much about last summer's Australia trip, lately, doing <a href="http://lightsallaskew.blogspot.com/2012/07/last-month-and-this-ive-been-working-on.html" target="_blank">this latest batch of drawings</a>. So, a little nostalgia....an excerpt from AU field studies journal--from our time camping in the mallee woodland, Calperum Station (June 22, 2011).<br />

<i>....I stopped a little ways out of camp to pee, and as I was
looking at the ground, saw… a paw? Yes—a severed paw, blue-black, four claws,
the fur matted and the wrist trailing off into attenuated, amber-colored
tendons. I stood up and looked around, and not ten feet from me was a kangaroo
skeleton, disintegrated past the point of viscera, but still holding together
and covered with skin. It seemed complete except that the skull was gone. I
would have liked to have seen that. But even headless it was an irresistible
form to draw and I pulled up my chair as near it as I dared. I'd brought a bug
head-net overseas with me that I'd begun to regret packing as I’d yet had no
call for it, but it turned out to be very useful now, over my hat, for keeping
the flies out of my facial orifices.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I did a few sketches of the desiccated body from different
angles before heading further into the bush to do some landscape studies. The
mallee trees were unassuming, but handsome, with graceful curves and shoots and
multicolored bark, and I recorded their shapes as best I could. There was
another beautiful plant growing out of the orange sand that commanded my
attention late in the afternoon. It looked almost like a cushion, round and
full and low to the ground. It was such a soft pale green, like a ring of tall
grass, and its interior was dark and flat, as though something had made
themselves at home in the center, and I wondered ignorantly if perhaps the emus
nested in them. I came close to one to examine it and when I reached out to
stroke its fronds, was shocked by how extraordinarily sharp they were. So much
so that I looked to see if they’d drawn blood. They hadn’t, but my fingers were
still stinging from where they’d been pricked, and I blinked in amazement,
trying to reconcile the reality with the cozy vision I’d been cultivating.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">I was glad once again for my bug net as I
finished up and wiped the gouache palette clean--the flies buzzing around the
paint—and headed back to camp. Bk arrived as I was doing one final drawing,
a close-up of mallee leaves. His face looked wild from his day of solitude. His
pants were scintillating strangely in the dusk, and when he came closer I saw
that he had wrapped packing tape around his legs from ankle to knee. I laughed,
impressed. It’d been helpful protection as he trudged through the strange sharp
undergrowth, which he knew the name for: Spinifex. It was such a perfect name for
the spiny plant, all thin and sharp and alluring in the mouth! I was glad to
know it.</span></i>Cedra Woodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17708743248255621785noreply@blogger.com4
