Update nov 21


It has been a while since I wrote here. Not for the lack of news and activity, just that I have been thinking about other projects. One big one is the updating of my website. If you came here from www.johnmayodesign.com you might have noticed that the site is about 2 years out of date work wise. I have been scrambling around taking photos of my work and trying to catch up.

Why the big rush to catch up on documenting work? Well I am applying for a sculpture residency where I can make some large pieces that I have been gestating for a year or so. Fingers crossed...

I am doing 2 artist-in-residence gigs right now. It is a great experience and I think the kids are getting lots out of it also. Both artist-in-residences are building art for the new addition of the Hood River Hospital (providence).

In one project I am working with 7-8 graders from Henkle Middle school to create a installation in the waiting area of the new imaging center.

The 2nd project is for the main lobby of the hospital and I am working with english student from The Dalles for that one. Both pieces will be installed in early march. Lots to do in the next few months.
