Josh Beckman’s shipwreck installation Sea Nymph at Machine Project in Los Angeles. Photo by Marianne Williams.
To prepare for the project, the walls were skimcoated in June, followed by two layers of oil-based paint and then five layers of latex paint. The result made the wall feel like the artists were drawing on paper.

Many thanks to everyone who visited Wishing Well for Houston and tossed some coins in.

Finally posted some images and video of our installation from January to my site. Better late than never, right?
