I honestly cannot believe this salt kiln is still standing. When I was at KCAI (98-02) we thought it was in its final days. Good to see your photos. Keep up the good work.

In August, Tyra “radish of the smiling pots” left Kansas City. As she boarded the plane a little girl in the plaza began to cry, then in an eerie succession all the cars stopped, the birds and cicadas silenced. The sun blackened along with the vision of all the peoples; they all closed their eyes as they also shed tears. Then everything went to normal. However, nothing was the same, as the planets feel when pluto was no longer a planet.

As we merge sodium and clay, we create clouds that float to the sky. Unbeknownst to the heights in the clouds lay our dreams. Blessed is Tyra that double bags functionality in rippling condoms of clay. The space that lies inside recites chants of curiosity for the person who wishes to create impressions on the clay only to realize that the oppisite happened. See you on the 20th

nice bloggy thing! -one of these days I’d like to have one of my very own… I especially like the quality of the images. Do you have a really good camera or just a really good eyeball, I wonder? I also like that your blog is not completely focused on art. Landscape, people and the sense of wonderment- dat’s hot!

That man there in the red dress shirt is made of lemon jingerbreadcottoncandy. whenever it rains he melts and becomes one with the ground. I have rarely seen him in person, every time I try to find him I end up with mud-covered hands. I lost him a little while ago please help me find him if he disappears for too long he won’t be able to go back to his former form. Also the heads in the show weren’t as good as the flattened dinosaur eggs. I feel the cold coming, winter approaches faster than usual. May we all be prepared

Hi Tyra. This object/gender issue is a good one for you to research further for your proposal and semester’s work! Even with your non-narrative, newer pieces (like the pair of flasks) there is still a relationship between the objects that could be said to be male/female. Funny how we naturally assign gender to objects when they are shown as a pair…
