Tents

On Saturday, June 23, 2007, David and Mona came over and I made them okonomiyaki for dinner. Mona brought a delicious pasta salad in vinagrette dressing.

Afterwards, we put up the two tents in the backyard and dicussed our installation.

We both liked the size differences and the ability to have a tent you walk into and a tent that you peek through.

There's potential to play with a juxtapostion of opposites or differences, i.e. male and female, interior and exterior, etc.

it was an exciting session.

Dana

On Thursday evening, Mona and I met with artist Dana Orlando at her home in Venice. The interview lasted approx an hour and fort minutes. She was articulate and very honest about her first marriage with a non-clinically diagnosed schizophrenic Scientologist.

She was very positive and upbeat about her life today. At the age 39, looking back on her situation as a 19 year old bride made for a very interesting interview.
