13 minutes and counting
oh mr. warhol, how did you know? how could you have possibly guessed that in the not too distant future with you tube and vimeo and all of the insane reality tv that we would all indeed have our 15 minutes of fame?
some of my domestic scene drawings are hanging in Kearny Street Workshop's office at the moment. they are calling it the KSW artist gallery. my work will be up through the end of august - so if you are wandering around folsom street you can visit them.
they also asked if i would answer some questions on camera for them. and i reluctantly said yes.... and now you can see me [purposefully NOT looking at the camera] blabbling away about the work in the show. i think if you read here regularly i won't be saying anything new, but hey.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
let's just look at more images of me shall we???
actually, though, this image was taken by katrina - the dress was made by her as well. she's exhibiting her amazing dresses project at theatre artaud in SF and i was lucky enough to catch it. you can too. read more about it on her blog and go before the show closes !
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
thankfully there are no more pictures of me to show you
the other day i took some polaroids. and that felt SO good. it was like hanging out with an old lost friend.
this whole summer has felt a bit disjointed. it feels like there's a funk. i've chatted about it with a couple other people. it's not that anything is wrong or bad - for me it's just this rather odd feeling of uncomfortableness. and then the occasional feeling of malcontent [which is no where near as severe as unhappy]. it comes and goes as it pleases ill regard of the weather or what i'm actually doing.
maybe i should just give into it. maybe it's about all the stuff that's about to happen this fall. maybe it's about figuring out how to balance all this stuff. maybe it's because i'm worried about making sure all the i's get dotted and t's get crossed. maybe it's that i hate uploading things to sell on etsy [this is for a project i'm working on - more about this in another post]. maybe i'm too tied to my computer. maybe i'm missing the studio more than i want to admit. maybe i'm tired of cramming too many things into small chunks of time.
i'm thinking i should just stop worrying about it [ha!]. or maybe i should make a a good list like heather.
ok - here's a go :: how the little says K now when you ask her OK, cucumbers growing in the garden, rhubarb compote, homemade japanese curry, kittens that purr on your lap, the smell of cut grass, meet-ups with cute internet pals and their cuter children [hi christine hi sally ], dreaming of seeing alice neel paintings with julie , figuring out and working on a piece of art that is bigger than me, treats brought over by my parents, how the little says PA-PA and BA-BA with the biggest smile on her face... better now... happy weekend.....

hope you have a beautiful happy weekend!
And I love Alice Neel- have you seen the documentary by her grandson? Amazing. She was totally bad-ass.
Cheers!
Your `funk` is an understandable part of trying to maintain a perspective and to find balance in your life between your various selves....artist, wife, and now mother of a young child. It ain`t easy sometimes. But it will keep shifting as time goes on and your child needs less of your time and attention. In fact, there may even be moments in the future when you miss `the demands` the child used to make on you!
always so nice
to hear more
about your work.
wish i could
fly to angel's gate
for your show.
have fun
with grub.
xoxo
from one sometimes shy person to another,
g xo
Secondly, I think this Summer Funk is universal and recognizing it is half the battle. I hope that your Fall will clear the air and bring new joys for the Winter.
I love your beautiful polaroids and only wish there was more mama and little in them!
I missed you and I am happy to be catching up again! A big hug to you and all your loves. xox = cah
awesome to see you talk about your work - and listen to your ideas.
: )
i'm in sort of that same place you are - maybe?
it's a nice piece that adds a layer to your blog in terms of getting to know you and your work.
am making note of your work up at KSW"s office downtown.
congrats! you look great!
I think the video of you is very good and you don't look at all nervous. It's very interesting to hear where your inspiration and ideas for your work comes from.
My friend has just been to see the Alice Neel exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery and really enjoyed it.
