Nancy Douthey: WHEN COTTON CANDY MELTS - NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN PUTTING IT IN THEIR MOUTHS

Check out Nancy's latest project "Snack Dat" in light of the summer of focusing on the in between. You know us and our love for desserts. It's Nancy's exhibition for Snack Projects on view at the Lawndale Art Center in Houston, Texas. It opened last night - if you are in Houston, check it out!

From the blog: "Over and over and over it starts out as an action and becomes an abstracted prayer. We follow the recipe for delightful conversations and delicious convections. Sugar coated, smiles, surfaces that sparkle. Daydreaming into depression. We talk, tell old stories, pass down histories, sometimes saying nothing, of ourselves, or of now. Activity in absence."

(di Suvero makes an appearance twice this week on the blog - who would have thought?)
