Edith Abeyta and "Buried Alive"


After another day of work on "PilgrIMAGE," I returned to the gallery Thursday evening to install its cornice and to let Edith in to finish hanging her plates. "Buried Alive" is not only an installation in the gallery (one plate for each day the show is open), it is also a scavenger hunt in and around the locales Edith visits every day. Each plate is quite elegant looking in an abstract way -- and is ornamented with Edith's bitemarks. She is in the process of removing a plate and hiding it every day, then leaving visual clues in the gallery and on her blog. Here is a photo of the gallery installation on the second day of the show. Check out her blog -- edithabeyta.blogspot.com -- to watch and/or join the hunt!
