I had wanted to track down the Kiki Smith interview where she says that she can't imagine anyone ever being bored, or not having anything to do-because there is always something in her studio that needs to be filed down. "There's always filing to do" is the actual quote, I think ( Read more... )

The past two weeks-next week will make it three-have been eaten up by JURY DUTY OMG. Which, aside from leaving me fairly well burt-out when I get home, has been eating up all the hours of the day. So I can't give a good accounting of myself so far this year. My books read, yes. My productive activities, no ( Read more... )

Aaaaand apropos of nothing, the zeitgeist arrow points to vanilla and meringues. Apparently the zeitgeist arrow did not resolve to spend more time at the gym this year, because that would be predictable.

Two, if you count the failed design that I could bleach off of the other one. Oh man ( Read more... )

I didn't really mention it at the time, but this year's resolution is twofold:

1. Get studio space/rental at the printshop and start working on prints again.
2. Secure some manner of transport to the printshop, which is, let me see . . . across this very hilly town quite aways.
