I now live by the ocean. I like this very much. Everyday I drive or bike along side of it whenever i go anywhere. I enjoy thinking of myself, a small point, along side of this large homogenous mass. Its humbling to think of the contrast.
I found this abandoned pool. There are still many empty slabs that used to be houses alongside of the ocean. Some things are most beautiful when left to ruin. Often this isn't by choice.
We have a studio potluck once a week, in attendance are the South Coast students, family members, and studio neighbors. This week i made a key lime pie. Kyle made a beer butt chicken (to do so you shove a beer can up the chickens butt and bake in the oven).
Similar to Terry's studio, the first week's design project is something small and executable. This is how complete strangers become family in a very short time. We designed seating for the studio fire pit. However the day after we started building a tree fell on what we had done so far. On the plus side, after we chainsaw the tree into pieces tomorrow morning, we will have fire wood for the semester.
Our current build project is finishing the house that the summer group started. This week we worked on putting in nailers for the drywall and finishing the OSB sheathing on the envelope. I spent most of my time working on the roof. I really enjoyed bring in such a raw building environment, everything exposed and unfinished, the day filled with power tools, chalk lines, and nail guns. My safety glasses make it look like I have a unibrow in this picture.
