here are a few pics from the show

Art Chicago

I'll be in Art Chicago, represented by SUGs at booth 12-159.
Here's what's said about me in the catalog:

Brookhart Jonquil's work challenges the viewer to understand their own relationship with the physical world. Of particular concern are aspects such as consciousness and observation, which still suffer under a Cartesian exile from our bodies. Using a semi-scientific approach, Jonquil conflates mind and consciousness with the body, and positions the individual as a dynamic organ of the environment. By taking a systemic view of our relationship with reality, his work seeks to transform our fundamental assumptions about objectivity and subjectivity.

About traveling

My notes on the adventure were minimal, check out Sanya's blog if you want to know more of what we did.
I've been back in Chicago since January, makin stuff! Things are comming together, I'll be adding images soon.

Thailand!

Boy, I sure slipped off the radar didnt I? A lot has happened since Mysore, most importantly Surabhi's wedding in Indore. The wedding was completely spectacular and reeeaally long. It was an awesome experience, as was staying with Surabhi's wonderful family. But now we're in Thailand already! The food here is so fresh and light, such welcome reprieve from two months of Indian food. The entire time I was in India I never got sick, I even started drinking the water in the resturants now and then at the end, and I ate tons of dubious street food. So I guess coming to Thailand, where everything is much cleaner and easier, and more westernized, I got cocky. I drank a glass and a half of water from a street restuarant and I've been reaping the consequenses for about 5 days. It's not sooooo bad, it hasn't kept me from enjoying the beach! Sanya and I are staying at the most peaceful, beautiful little bay in the entire world. Its called Khlong Jak Bay, on Ko Lanta. Much of the coral has been damaged, but there are still some nice fish, the first day out we saw a Lion Fish! It was really exciting. Tomorrow is Christmas eve, and nobody around here really cares at all, the island is 95% Islamic, 4% Buddhist, and the rest is local anamist religion. There are some cheezy out of place Christmas trees for the tourists though. And there's some bizzare snow-land thing, all cotton balls and spraypaint.
Lots of holliday love to everyone!
