Houdini

Thanks to friends and family who came to the opening @ Metro Gallery in Bakersfield CA.  It was a really great crowd and the gallery space is beautiful a fun night had by all!

So its back to the studio time - this is something I recently scanned and hanging out with my neighbor Jen reminded me how much I love Houdini.


  


Last year I was lucky enough to have a private docent tour of the show Houdini Art and Magic at the Skirball Museum (thanks Mom!)  It was very inspiring and every since that show I have been thinking about the image of Houdini in the Water Torture Cell.
