A couple of weeks ago, Lee Ann was giving away the book No Sugar Added: A Diabetes Poetry Book to a randomly selected submitter of diabetes art. I didn't win, but I did submit a sculpture. I had hoped to make a new piece for d.A.d. and even have an idea floating around in my head that I need to put on paper, but I failed to make time in August to plop myself in front of my drawing table, gag and blindfold my inner critic, and get some art made. So, I'm giving you a piece that feels to me like a mock-up for something more ______. Even so, making it did the job of getting my brain out of its self-flagellating loops, at least for a bit.
Tipping the bigD Tightropeanother little nod to Janelle Monae
made of pump and CGM detritus, except for the poles, (sadly necessary) suspension wire and base + hot glue (hello, flashbacks to architecture school)

Very nice job! I love all the different mediums people used for their art, including yours of course!
I'm glad you had the perfect opportunity and excuse to share this on your blog! I think it's great as is, but would definitely love to see the next interpretation of it if you ever get time to make it. I think the tightrope metaphor is a pretty universal one amongst us pancreatically challenged, and I loved seeing your sculptural take on it. very nice, indeed!
Thank you so much for adding it to Diabetes Art Day! I couldn't have been happier about the participation, and appreciate that you joined to make the day so great :)
