			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>when i was asked to participate in the new show for Quint Contemporary Art (<a href="http://quintgallery.com/1526/homing-in-an-exhibition-of-50-san-diego-artists.htm"><strong>Homing In</strong></a>), a show which required a piece with size limitations (no larger than 2 feet wide), i didn&#8217;t have anything ready to go.  i usually try and have a new piece for every show, but i didn&#8217;t get much notice for this one.  i was already working on a huge piece for a commission job, and i wasn&#8217;t sure i&#8217;d have enough time to complete even a small piece.</p>
<p>after about a week of contemplating what to do, an idea came to me like a flash.  all at once i knew what i was going to create, what it would be made of, and even where i wanted to hang it in the gallery.  what you see here is the result of that flash &#8211; an ArrowDeco form made of steel and frosted acrylic.  the only modification to the idea was that i used frosted acrylic for the arrow instead of frosted glass &#8211; the glass was going to take too long to get.  as it happened, i didn&#8217;t have the piece finished until the night before the show&#8230;as usual.  (at least i finished it!)</p>
<p>thanks to a great guy named elliot hathaway, a fine welder (and also a <a href="http://lamefoto.blogspot.com/"><strong>photographer</strong></a>), i got the steel welded just in time for a very reasonable price.  thanks elliot!</p>
<p>ah, the perfect spot.  just above your head, in the doorway, as you walk from the front to the back gallery.</p>
