Tape Day at the Science Museum of Minnesota

4/30/2015

Saturday, May 2, is Tape Day at the Science Museum of Minnesota

From 12:00 - 4:00 I will be demonstrating tape sculpture techniques, and showing some of my tape sculptures.

Animals, bowls, masks, and my large scale Chinese dragon will be on display.

It's been a lot of fun getting ready for this show. Tape definitely has its limitations as a sculpture material--but there's also a lot you can create from a basic, flat, adhesive strap.

That raven mask on the right--it's a work in progress, lacking its crest.

Sites I recommend

These ones are maintained by long-time personal friends.

Bensozia
John Bedell is an archaeologist, historian, and father of five living in Maryland. His blog is a fascinating grab-bag of historical, artistic, and political materials. This entry about work and leisure gives a good example of his voice.

William Reimann
is a consummate artist. There are so many images to enjoy on this site. His carved wooden long-leaf red pine Rhinoceros (which he made for me when I was ~11 years old) is a personal favorite.

Metro Bikes Trails Guide
(St. Paul, MN)
"Reviews and Reports on over 70 bicycle paths in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area!"
Maintained by the tireless Seamus Flynn, and a great little site for those local to the Twin Cities area.

Starless River
Is the U.K. based caving gear store run by serious hard-ass Tony Seddon. This link goes to the 'caves' section of the store's site--complete with alarming portrait photo of Tony ("After 7 days underground and 700m prussiking").

The Oxford University
Cave Club
Maintained by Steve Roberts, a guy who is extraordinary in so many ways, I'll just limit myself here to saying "Steve is a man who knows about motors."

Earthsign Studios
This is Liz Manicatide (now Liz LaManche), principal at Emphasis Creative's personal art & graphics site. I love Liz's work, panache, and aerial artistry, which leads me to--

Flying Squirrel Consortium
Phil Servita's site, and the place to go for custom fabricated circus equipment (either freestanding or fixed point), and aerial classes, if you happen to live in the area.

Paul Nordberg
Paul's site is... unique, authentic, & expressive, and pretty much exactly what I think of when I think of a website as an artform.

Sites I enjoy

I don't know these people, but I appreciate their work.

What's That Bug?
The title says it all. An incredibly useful site for both the non-bug-phobic & the consummate bug-phobe.

Margaret & Helen
Best Friends for Sixty Years and Counting…

Raging Grannies
Okay, I'm nowhere near a grandmother, but I very much appreciate what these women are trying to do. Especially the fact-checking part.

Dog-shaming
This site is ridiculous. The home-made signage is the best.
