Studio Notes

Found a Home

Yesterday I came to my studio and found small paper rolls on my workbench with a pink post-it: "Want these? — Anna."

My friends at the Center know I am always looking for materials. This is how a shared studio works — people see something, think of you, leave it on your bench.

I had a piece waiting on the shelf. A slab of cardboard covered with paper mâché clay, painted and scraped, not quite finished. I had also picked up some tile spacers. Everything came together. The rolls became a spine down the center. The spacers scattered as crosses. The piece found its ending.

Sometimes the last element arrives as a gift.
