This is a little bit silly, but the recent New York Times article on Julie Green’s terrific show at the Corvallis Art Center reminded us we’d better get down there. We set off in the fog this morning… and took the back road… and after a little lunch, arrived at the Corvallis Art Center (700 […]

Stamina-building, Day 4
That’s really what this week is about…starting to walk, and building stamina…but in the most fun possible way. Today’s “work” began with a sunny-day breakfast with some artist friends, including Violet, who got right to work with crayons… and then getting the quilt (for the soon-to-arrive Seattle baby) safely into his grandmother’s hands… After lunch […]
Wednesday
Too tired to tell you…
I’m Rolling!
Well, sort of… Here’s my new best friend Hugo… and today was my first day out…(though I went to the dentist and a meeting, so not really a GLAMOROUS day out…but, a day out all the same.) And a day out on my feet for the first time since December 4th. In between I went […]
Lamp # 2
Of course there’s a lamp on the other side of the bed too..an inexpensive IKEA or Target lamp with a now glaringly white and spotted shade…CRYING OUT to become one of a pair… and it looks good too…but I’m stopping here… though it is making me want to go around the house with a critical […]
Drawing as Lampshade Revival…
Well my bedside lamp broke this morning, so I replaced the switch (daughter of an electrician)…and while I had it apart I noticed that the shade was…well…sad. Spots, dirt smudges…ick. Shopping is out at the moment, so I got out my markers and had a go at it… At first I wasn’t so sure, but […]
Curatorial Notes: Izquierdo
Got out of jail again today….off to the museum where Roger Hull had to sign copies of the book…one for each donor to the publication fund… It went like this… and then we got to go take a peek at the show…everything is there but not in final position…it’s a forest of sculpture and quite […]
Sketchbook Project
Over the last couple of years I’ve had a lot of fun with the Sketchbook Project…sending them a variety of small fabric pieces as well as a couple of little drawing books. They are in Brooklyn and collect small books from artists all over the world. This spring they went on the road with part […]
Seeking Order
Neither art-making nor quilting, my two main endeavors these days, are orderly processes for me. (I AM orderly in the kitchen…learned behavior after over a decade in a restaurant kitchen…but in other work, my work-space becomes something of a disaster area. I’ve come to believe that if it isn’t a mess, nothing good will come […]
Manuel Izquierdo: Almost Ready
Meanwhile, over at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, the Manuel Izquierdo sculpture show (“Myth, Nature and Renewal”) that R has been working on for most of 2 years, is coming together at a rapid pace, and is going to be stunning…here are a few “behind the scene photos… …and then today…TA DA…the book has […]
