works in progress - teeny tiny bat

sometimes the creatures in my life can be inspirational to some of the works i construct. lately old phones i disassemble look much like the little bats that roost around the neighborhood in CLE. With a ton of old factories being torn down this year, many displaced bats have made their way to my building. In the summer, it is so hot and many people leave windows open in the common areas of the warehouse i dwell in with the lights blazing all night. I made old screens to fit my space to avoid this swarm in my space every eve. But without such horribly made screens, the hallways fill with bugs and with that comes with the animal that we need to eat the fogs of midges and other pesky insects. We suspect they roost above us and often they fall out when pipes burst or a cold winter kills a furnace or two.

as a modern day walking wednesday addams, clearly i am a lover of such a creepy cute animal that really just likes to shit, eat handfed mealworm covered bananas, snuggle up to a heatbeat upside down and screech when he is pissed or hungry. who can't relate ? 

stay tuned...

deadmall : Rolling Acres

Ruinporn photos are hot. Your childhood capitalist hangout pre Amazon.com & free shipping  hotspot dead like a zombie movie shoot ? Super hot. Stupidhugespaces now abandoned are  very popular for photographers, or everyone with a camera phone to capture the quick demise of meatspace retail. I zipped out to the land of Zips a few months ago to the Restore located in Akron, near where the once, literally, "rolling" hills this double decker mall stood. Although much of it is still there, the zinging cash registers collecting sales tax and disposable jobs employing the lower classes of masses left over from the industrial age; GONE.  Quiet. miles of parking seemed to spread all over an area where one has to wonder how many people actually had to be here to use all this space ? to need it ? mass holiday sales ? no more driving all over for a parking space, plenty was to be found here. I did not frequent this mall, as it was far and had a small grisly murder of teenage girls to taint it made it not a place my parents allowed. However, it was obviously a super large mall that seemed to cater to very different tastes of the more suburban malls we were used to. Midnight horror movies, crazy odd clothes & again massive amounts of space made you feel like you were in some spaceship of shopping. Now it sits, in a concrete shell of capitalist facades falling into the walkways and handicapped zones. What to do with sweet dreams made of this ? See the Scene for more "wow, look ! a mall falling apart " photos here for more photos of decay
