on making [and thinking]

can i just say how completely and utterly touched i was by everyone's kind kind heartfelt words in regards to garbo. it is so wonderful to know and feel that there are others in the world who understand and feel the same. comforting doesn't quite sum it up, but it's the best word i can muster at the moment. thank you.



been trying to get back to work and back to "normal". the older i get the more i realize that there is no "normal". there is just what needs to get done and the order in which i can manage to accomplish things.

i'm working on 2 47" x 47" drawings [detail above]. versions of H1N1 and spanish influenza. these are for an upcoming exhibition at the monterey art museum . i have to say it's nice working this scale again. and in a limited color palette. i'm overloaded with color in other things i'm working on and so it's quite refreshing to just work in black white and grays.



also made a series of necklaces for a bunch of june babies.
one for gwen .



for wenders



for amisha



for shari



and there was renegade where modify/d shared a booth with diana fayt ....

we were next to migration goods . who were SO NICE. i bought a toast brooch [but the happy version] for the little and she's been carrying it around ever since calling it her toast brother. hee hee.

and now i'm revisiting joesf albers and johannes itten prepping for a color class i'll be teaching at cca in the fall.

oh yeah - i wrote about cy twombly for poppytalk .

and i've been thinking and re-thinking and wanting to verbalize in response to eireann's post on public|private ... but don't know how yet.

ok. so that's my last couple weeks in a nutshell.
you?
