Maps, Calendars, Haircuts
Posted by: amber | From: October 3, 2006
After doing a lot of work to convince all the right people in Portland that I'm an artist worth paying attention to (who knows to what end) I'm taking my artwork to Olympia to show it to people who already know I'm worth it. Hopefully I haven't been forgotten there. You never know. A year is a long time.
If you want to come see the fruits of last winter's labor, come to Bryce's Barbershop and check it out. I am honored to be sharing the space with Nikki Mcclure, who will be showing the original images from her latest calendar project.
Stop by! Get your hair cut! It'll be great!
(Show opens Friday, October 6th, and will be up for three weeks.)
Amber,
Your new artwork is awsome and it was so great to see it all together there in the Barbershop.
I think your work, and Nikki's, comlpiments each other nicely--in a variety of ways. And it was nice to see YOU again. We miss you in Olympia and I always have a touch of sadness when I walk down 5th and look up at you window and know you are not being Amber inside that space above Radiance. But, it sounds like you are happily being Amber down there in Portland and I can see that you are being productive. I look forward to seeing the Urban Big Picture artwork and I hope your grant works out soon. I espcecially look forward to the piece that includes the river that runs through your community. I'm staying tuned.
Peace, Love, and lots of thread,

Indeed, the pieces shown here on my kitchen table are exactly the ones that will soon be hanging somewhere in your (Carl and Victoria's) house!
Plus, if you look closely, you can see the reflection of Nikki's October leaves.

Thanks so much for sending the artwork! We love it! And how cool it's the pieces pictured here. Please remind us of the titles.
I don't know how else to reach you currently. I probably have your email or ph. # somewhere. Please email me soon.
Carl

Great show you and Nikki put on! Are these pieces pictured "the swifts" and ...?
Thanks!
