new studio!

WHEW!

Things have been so hectic lately, but I'm happy to report that I have moved into my new studio and am soooo happy! I share about 700 square feet with a friend who's also graduated with me from Stanford, Amy Hicks, who's a filmmaker and installation artist. Right now things are totally discombobulated and not quite set up yet, but the best part is that it's in a building that I used to rent from 2 years ago--a big industrial warehouse with huge windows and cement floors, 12 foot ceilings, a loading dock and freight elevator--THE BEST KIND! (and no, i am not rich--san francisco is a DAMN expensive place to be renting and i've made having a studio priority, no matter what...them's the breaks for being an artist, ugh)

I have to start pumping out 2 exhibitions worth of artwork (ulp!) and get the whole shebang up and running. Alas, Anti-Factory will take a slight backseat to it all in the meantime, but don't you fret--the fall and winter will be chock-full of new clothes and designs. Believe you me, working on Anti-Factory is like taking a holiday and I wish I could be on that holiday right now ;p

In the meantime, here's some photos of the new work digs!

the anti-factory area: all boxed up and shelved and so tidy (for now!)


one side of my work area, with big table anchored to one wall. this is just half of my own space, with another area that i'm standing in to take this picture, where i'll have big tables on wheels so that i can move 'em around depending on what i'm working on. mobility mobility mobility!
