SHOW & TELL: a blog page about current works in progress

November 11, 2022

I am working with some local builders to help me create some strange contraptions for my show. Attached is a sketch of one of my ideas (illustration courtesy of my dear husband, Robert (Bobby) Hullinger) which is already in progress. Thanks to an Evanston, IL bike mechanic and fellow whimsical soul, Flowers Luna (they/them) and their workshop Luna Alley Bike Shop, this thingamajig will have movable feet. When pushed it will look a little bit like a wheelbarrow with centipede feet. That part is for fun and pure whimsy. But wait, there's more! It is also going to be a useful vaudevillian companion for tap dancer Tristan Bruns. Wait until you see the kickstand on this thing! I am getting such a kick (ahem, dad joke, ahem) out of introducing these contraptions and multidisciplinary colleagues to each other and the world.

October 25, A Day in a Park crowdfunding campaign opened today. Runs from Oct 25 to Dec 9. The campaign surpassed its initial $5K goal in under three days!
