so... back to regular programming.... heh heh. so i guess there's a big nature theme to the above. nothing new... but i don't usually do 3 in a week. maybe it's the pink... maybe it's the weather....
been noticing lately all the purging and organizing going on out there... blair and abby immediately come to mind. i'm super jealous of their clean-up b/c honestly i can't even fathom trying to take on that task until i have the next 2 shows installed. but i've been noticing how things pile up - and i mentioned that i wanted to photo the piles to try and re-frame them - hopefully make them prettier.... shari said she'd been doing the same thing.... and then gwen posted about her piles yesterday....
not that we need another blog-a-long project, but... if you are game... shari and i are going to post piles on wednesday. join us... i'd love to see your piles... in all their messy, beautiful, working ways !!
design sponge reminded me of jenn garrido's work. she actually went to the same grad school as me - a couple years before me.... i really love her new work... it's delicate and colorful, but also minimal in a way that hits me just right. plus i love the idea of editing with paint. what do you choose to paint out and why. editing - i think self-editing is always a challenge and i'm always moved when artists do it well.
polaroid for today. what is it about shawdows and grass that is just so
compelling?? that is my big question for today. [ wenders you like a good question... any thoughts?]
and oh! if you are in the bay area i've got some of my work in a show at ego park gallery for the next few weeks.... and tomorrow i get to have dinner with 3 :: amazing :: blogladies . see you wed! with piles of piles!

I think it is shadows & and anything, not just grass...but shadows are at the same time part of something unknown, but then it is also a repeat of a tangible object, a repeat with editing...
yer piles!
i'll be back
for more
on wednesday!
Might join in with the piles - they are taking over here!!!
i LOVE that link to jenn garrido's work - really beautiful..i choose to edit my words a lot - im so clumsy, always put my foot in it - so less is more in my case!!!
