wall work Originally uploaded by dressform.
i finally posted wall works photos! here's the flickr set to see more if you are curious! and... the show is up through august! how great is that... if anyone want to see the show let me know and i'll go with you [and oh how i wish you all so far away were closer!!]
i love the responses to the idea of talent... i want to sit and think before i write more on it... but shari has some great thoughts on her blog.... and green girl started a thread on process.... ooohhh another great thing to ponder.... loving this....
re :: middlesex... i was so happy to hear that others said it was a slow read for them.... i LOVED the charcter names [calliope, lefty...]... i also liked the idea of telling a personal history combining both the past and present. also loved the idea that in a sense we are all on some kind of fence - that we can make changes - deal with painful aspects of change... the style of writing is also really engaging - on the poetic side, but not at all overly emotional or too flowy... the only thing i wanted was a bit more what else happens to cal??
my dad bought me this book and it will be my next read.... anyone want to join me??
we had amazing skies today here.... blue blue blue... crisp crisp crisp with fluffy pillow soft clouds.... ahhh
there are a few more really lovely why we blogs - check em out!

p.s. still marinating...(thoughts on talent)
Your Dad's book is an interesting piece of history that reads like a story of fascinating, determined, and in one case frightening people. You'll be amazed to learn how something that happened more than 100 years ago still impacts life today!
I wish I was out there to go and see, but maybe before august I'll be making a trip!
The combination of paint and thread dollies are really really fantastic.
love!
I haven't heard of the book but it sounds promising...tell me if you do start an online book club. ;)
i would love to see the wall in person sometime! also, that book looks fascinating... maybe i'll pick it up. thanks for sharing all:)
xo,

First, thanks for the mention today. Oh and I ADORE wall work. The photos are wonderful. Have a great afternoon.
so successful - well done!
The book looks intriguing, I'll pick up a copy and join you.
re: middlesex-- once I was sucked into the book, I fell in love with the way it moved in and out of so many personal histories, loved the way the words made for an accessible sort of poetry. stunning to read, but totally on the level. and yes, I wanted to know more about cal... more, more, more!
going to try to grab me a copy of that book your dad gave you... would love to read along... :)
