Whew. It’s been a while. A Transformation of Flesh is done. At least in its current form.

Also, I graduated! Hooray!

Then I got a retail job. It was alright, and then it sucked, and then it was over. So it goes…

I guess I am kind of in a post-college funk. It’s hard to pick up the camera. I’ve been listening to some Makers interviews. They are way cool and very inspirational. I’m hoping to move back to image making soon. Very soon.

One of my images got into a show at the Wiseman Gallery’s show Seen/Unseen. You can see my image Abductor Pollicis Brevis in the corner. Sadly, I could not go as the gallery is in Oregon.

Thesis work is live! I’ve added an updated gallery page of the newest selection of my thesis images. CLICK HERE or go to “A Transformation of Flesh” up at the top.

It’s a dirty job, but sometimes we need money. And sometimes, we need to ask those around us for that money. I am very close to my senior thesis show and have run out of money to buy frames and other related supplies. I have started an Indiegogo fundraising campaign to help afford this show.

I have set it up so that (in my opinion) the perks are pretty great. For just $25 dollars you can get a 4×5 contact print (limited editions of 30 per image, mounted on 8×10 archival matboard). These will only be available at this price for the duration of the campaign. After that they will go up to around $100 each.

Check out all of the other available perks, including 16×20 prints, photo books, and copies of Nectar!

If you can’t or don’t want to donate, you can spread the word to anyone that might be interested. You can also buy prints/books outside of indiegogo. Let me know if you are curious about this option: helenmaringer@yahoo.com

This work will be shown at NONA, BFA senior thesis exhibition opening on April 27th from 5-7 pm.
