For a few brief days on the Northern State University campus, several statues wore knitted hats and scarves.
I couldn’t stop looking at the hands. The scarves were held in place by the hands, destroyed the craftsmanship by doing so.
I miss the brightness in that part of campus, and that I didn’t take more pictures while I had the chance.
There’s a few bonus photos since I went on a trip with a couple of friends!

A trip to town for supplies.
It’s amazing what you can find while hiking around a lake.
Back in Aberdeen, the view outside the theater.

Sometimes, it’s good to be the Stage Manager.

Our tradition of making Bacon Explosion during the Indy 500 lives on!
Art duo Guerra del la Paz had a residency at Northern, and here’s one of the pieces they created with the students.

Random building in Aberdeen that I found. Who wouldn’t want to buy furniture here?
An event at the Students Center where the Vocal Jazz Ensemble performed and art was auctioned off. Art by Sara Christensen Blair.
A few extra snapshots for my March scenes, due to the fact that I saw Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West and some Cubs games during spring training.
Choices, choices

Finally, a Precious Moments update! Several of my co-workers and friends are in the NSU Faculty Exhibition. (FYI, the exhibit closes March 21, so come by the Lincoln Gallery at NSU to see this in person!) One of whom is Sara Christensen Blair who was busy smashing Precious Moments in January. Here are a few shots of the finished project:
24 Precious Moments
And, some detail shots:

Moving on to a work by Greg Blair.
Not to neglect my other coworkers, here’s a piece by Greg Blair. I was able to see this from the very early stages, and loved the process and how it turned out.

February began with the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Krikac Auditorium.
Blizzard number two of the season.
The NSU Theater Department opened the show “Mauritius” — in spite of the blizzard.

I’ve decided to keep better track of my life and what’s happening in it. Here’s the news from January:
Helping a friend with her project.
Broken or dancing?
January brought some rather cold weather. Not that I captured the really cold days.
Art on the move.
Editor’s note: If you’d like to see the art glimpsed in this post check out the exhibit.
The other day I spent the morning helping a friend with an art project. She needed to smash several Precious Moments figurines and I helped her capture the excitement. Here’s some of the set-up:
Before.
One tiny Statue of Liberty.
During.
After.
I’ll not give anything away, as this is not my project, I was just the assistant. I assure you my friend has nothing against Precious Moments nor the people who collect them. I promise to update everyone once the show is up and running at the end of the month.
Needless to say I have many more pictures like this one:
Next in line.
