Update
whew. am I out of touch here or what.
SO much. art receptions. blackouts. broken water pipes. no water. dinners at friends' houses. going to the beach with my art dealers (!). selling a really big piece in the nick of time! (thank you angels)
hammering nails, nails and more nails. drinking in maps of all sorts...til my mind is swimming in them, recreating them behind closed eyes...
falling in love with paint markers, rediscovering the joy of drawing and of easy perfect colors...drawing maps maps maps.
Branches reaching, layering....rivers, veins, trees...
Watching a documentary on the AIDS situation in Uganda...and the resulting orphans.:(
Posting more Peace Corps Projects on the fridge.
10% of 'the big art sale' will be donated to INSAF, a charitable organization in Morocco that assists women 'in distress', which means basically unmarried mothers who have been outcast from society and have nowhere to turn. INSAF helps care for mother and child, offers shelter and skill training, etc. A Moroccan friend of mine did some wonderful research on the organization and met with the women who run it, etc. We talked at length about it and were both inspired. I'm so happy that I can now contribute a little! She says they are doing so much with so little.
Going to Borders...reading about neural networks and spontaneous order and ants and pheremones...
Going to the library...reading about exploring, navigation, interior and exterior...in Loren Eiseley's 'The Unexpected Universe'.
Napping with my love in the afternoon. Drinking coffee and staying up late nights.
thunderstorms and breezes...
Summer 2003
