good together :: piles and piles
good together Originally uploaded by dressform.
i believe a new tradition has been born. believe the sign - we are so good together [heh heh]. lisa c's house is even better in person than it is in pics. she has so much cool stuff organzied in the most interesting way [and with fab colors !!]. my favorite quote from her last night: "trees are very HARD to draw - that's why i only draw the trunks!".... mati was as cute and charming as ever. last night i really noticed the adorable cadence in her speech. certain words get drawn out and there are emphatic pauses that i love.... and meeting shash for the first time was great. mati took this adorable polaroid of her where she was sitting like a sweet grandma - but she doesn't look or talk like a grandma! and she has a fantastic laugh! how lucky i feel to have the opportunity to eat and chat with such creative, smart, dedicated women! see a few photos from the night here . mati - your turn next right??
also good together are my piles [in my dreams, but i'm trying to segue here]
piles of art to be boxed - going to a show that opens Aug. 26th at LIMN gallery :: pile of source material :: pile of doilies for my upcoming installtion :: pile of felt guns for a checkbook cozy order
the crazy mess of stuff that needs to be put away by my desk :: pile of paint in the studio :: piles of source books :: piles of heavy books flattening targets from wendy :: piles of polaroids to be scanned
you can check out both larger on flickr [click on the photo]
so what it is about piles? i kind of see them as organization - light. things look better in piles and strewn all over the place - and they definitely look better photo'd than in real life :) plus it's easier to move a pile. when taking these photos i realized how many more piles i do have around. sigh.... this could become a tradation....
come on - go ahead - show your piles! shari has! any other takers?? and don't let being in a different hemisphere stop you.... it doesn't have to be pile wednesday - pile thursday works too!
more piles found around [yes, that rhymes]::

Your piles are so interesting. Each one looks like it has a story to tell. They make the observer very curious. What great and many projects you are involved in.
P.S. Your lovely package arrived safely to my home. I love it! The shape reminds me of a skirt. Thank you very much.

works

i am so envious of the west coast meetings-
:)
looks like it was lots of fun-
your night sounded lovely...i love your descriptions!

i agree with everyone else- i like the piles!
And piles - I am burried in them at the moment. Other people's are more fun.
