Steampunk Installation In Progress. Suzanne Skaar. Birch, laser cut. 2014.
Earlier today, I said to someone that when designing this installation, I have been trying to make art that fits the theme while also making something that my daughter would like.
Considering my toughest critic just stole one of the “babies!” from my desk, I’d say the project is going swimmingly. (Wah wah.) Less than 3 weeks to go, so
Full Steam Ahead!

In memory of April, and other loved ones who have lost the fight to cancer. It was a hard battle; she fought it graciously, on her own merits. She was a good woman, a hilariously goofy friend, a loving mother and wife, a devout believer, and my forever mischievous cousin. Today she would have been 35. She was always much braver than I, and she stood by me when I needed it, even though an entire country separated us.

Suzanne here. I’ve been slacking on keeping up the blog because of all the cool wheelings and dealings going on. 🙂 First, my proposal, “Little Hermitage,” has been picked up by Tacoma’s Spaceworks, meaning once a suitable space is found, I’ll be working in a space that will be open to the public for special events once or twice a month.
I am also excited to start working on a new project for an out-of-town arts festival. Above is a sneak peek into August’s fun. Details for both will be posted on the Upcoming Events page.
