the whole sh'bang


work for xen gallery show 2007

I feel as if I am stealing moments on computers in all kinds of interesting environments...this morning's adventures included an Internet stop in at a local print shop "one stop printing" that is around the corner from my apartment. Wilson the owner even took the time to buy me a cup of tea and later showed me his behind the scenes swanky bar he had set up in the back "office". He said "any time I'd like to stop in for a drink I should not hesitate." So the loss of the computer has made me some new friends and now I have a new "underground" watering hole.

So here is the table full of work before I shipped off for my show. It is very pleasing for me to see it all together like this. I wanted to share it with you too.

You have all been so wonderful with your comments and have really made me feel so much better and richer for my loss. There a many computers out there in the world to be had and I know one will come my way soon. I have to admit I am kinda having fun frequenting all different Internet cafes and meeting all kinds of new and interesting folks. As Wilson said to me this morning " Well, Diana I am sure glad you destroyed your computer otherwise you would of never come in here and I wouldn't have ever met you." Cheers friends! It's time for a drink!
