Some neat-o stuff about this opening:

• It is LIFT’s first show of the 2012 season, with plenty more amazingness to come!
• At least TWENTY brand-spankin’ new pieces have been made especially for this show.
• LOVESICK will also feature the unveiling of several Limited Edition Print Runs of work in the show.

WBRW, which is a local cable access channel in Romeo, came and filmed the opening of my Day of the Dead show at Starkweather Arts Center. This is a 10-minute synopsis, but you can also watch the full program, footage of just the art, and just footage of The Hand in the Ocean’s performance.
