Content

HEY!

I've been so excited about this video and wanted to give you guys early access to it! This is NOT the final version of the video- it's currently being revised by my video editor, and will be posted to YouTube next week with chapters. However, nothing is being added, just a few small visual tweaks and the addition of text, so its still ready to enjoy! I hope you watch it with a good snack that is NOT CANDY CORN and have a Happy Halloween!

[Also, I have a good feeling this will perform well on youtube so be sure to turn up when it goes live!]

Art Quickie

I really love this sculpture by Renee Stout entitled The Root Dispenser. Sources for this video are dispensed below. ;)

This next photo is of her 2011 piece, The Rootworker’s Worktable.
