"Evangeline Maid" by Troy Dugas; Copyright Troy Dugas 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, I’m bragging.\u00a0 Not often that I get to do that.\u00a0 I (will officially) own a piece by my friend, Troy Dugas, as of March 11th.\u00a0 It’s currently on display at Gallery 912 in Lafayette, LA, but after that it’s MINE… muahhahahaha (that’s my evil laugh, by the way).\u00a0 As luck would have it, I was dropping off my piece for the Art of Re-Use exhibit when Troy happened to show just as I was leaving.\u00a0 So I had to see what he brought knowing I’d want first dibs, er, I mean,\u00a0knowing that I’d want to purchase a piece to support the Children’s Museum of Acadiana.\u00a0 When I saw it,\u00a0I knew\u00a0I had to have it.\u00a0 Not that I’m a big fan of\u00a0Evangeline Maid\u00a0bread (I only eat 100% whole wheat, not that processed stuff) but\u00a0given the fact that I love\u00a0intricate patterns, bright colors, and hell,\u00a0that bread company\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0a Louisiana company, I knew I should buy it.<\/p>\n

I don’t even have it here with me, so I can only hazard to guess at it’s size, but if photographic memory serves, I’d say it’s 16″ x 20.”\u00a0 If I’m right, you can be sure I will gloat about this in a later post.\u00a0 The entire piece is made up of cut-up squares of Evangeline Maid labels that are rearranged into the lovely pattern you see here.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0then magically attached to wood- I don’t know all his secrets.\u00a0 Anyway, you\u00a0can see more\u00a0of Troy’s work\u00a0on his website www.TroyDugas.com<\/a>\u00a0(you may have, or should<\/em> have already done this if you check out my blogroll- these are important links, why else would I post them?!)\u00a0 And if you’re in New Orleans this month, you can see his work at Arthur Roger Gallery through the 28th.\u00a0 So get to steppin’!<\/p>\n
