~EMILY JANOWICK, SAM COCKRELL & PETER RAFEAL SHUGART ORTIZ / ‘Perpetual Screw’

so, is a truck – a tool ?
way YES !!
esp., when it’s . . . a U-haul.
I was so lucky – to arrive, just in time to catch some real – favs.


EMILY JANOWICK, and SAM COCKRELL.
Sam had a large painting in the show / well, unofficially.
it’s up on the 5th floor, near where the opening after-party bar was.
blame the photo ambiance, on the night sky / up, on the 5th floor outdoor terrace.
well, Sam’s one to appreciate the mystery of ‘auto-focus’, so all’s good, I figure.


EMILY JANOWICK, and PETER RAFEAL SHUGART ORTIZ.
Peter installed the show, seamless. lots of room between – the diverse displays.
very nice.


SAM COCKRELL, ‘U-haul’ painting.
it’s actually quite large, though not exactly life-size.
waiting on dimensions, now . . .
something like 5 x 3 ft. ?

it was nice to see, after all those out-of-focus ‘butterflies’, that Sam could zero in on the – focus,
when he wanted to.
note: his painting isn’t technically part of the show, which is on the 2nd floor.
it could be found on the 5th floor – near the bar, on the night of the after-party.
