Well the sun is gone and the rains are setting in, but last week in California I sat in the sun on Carolyn’s deck, and put the final stitches on this little quilt I started in Alabama at the Camp McDowell Gee’s Bend quilting week. and here it was on the floor as I was […]
I hope those of you living nearby can join us (the Salem Public Library Foundation) on Sunday evening, October 21st at the library (585 Liberty Street NE) at 6:30… The tickets are only $5 before the event, available at the circulation desk at the library or from me or one of our intrepid planning committee […]
It all began when Carolyn thought we might want to collaborate on an installation in her “home” gallery Lost Coast Culture Machine, in Fort Bragg, California. She then admitted a deep-seated need to iron in public, and “Art Laundry” was born…with the support of gallery owners Anne Beck and Dietmar Krumrey. We visited the gallery […]
Ran across this photo that I thought you locals might enjoy… here is the Willamette University Art Department in about 1972 or 73…left to right… Carl Hall (painter) Cameron Paulin (art historian) Roger Hull (art historian) and Robert Hess (sculptor)… but REALLY the most important figure in the group is the Manuel Izquierdo sculpture called […]
Anybody remember the Arbor Cafe? 21 years ago today we opened our doors…(and managed to survive in a hard business for 13 years…) and today when I went to the bank I saw that Broken Bread is making the space over…for a fall opening…and it was a familiar sight… and while I was taking a […]
I leave Friday for California, for a 10 day sojourn in Fort Bragg. Carolyn Schneider and I will be doing an installation at the Lost Coast Culture Machine…”Hull and Schneider met in a seventh grade art class in the Chicago suburbs, where Lake Michigan is the ocean.” We’ll be examining the iconography of a mid-west […]
Apparently, even though some of us are still in a summer mood, FALL IS HERE. How do I know??? Suddenly bins of things are at the store… and if I thought those were just SUMMER punkins, there are other clues… uh oh…and then something catches my eye and it isn’t fresh berries and butter lettuce… […]
A busy week ahead about which more later, but it starts with one of my MOST favorite holidays of all…Zachary Hull’s birthday…and he was born on an overcast Sunday back in the 70’s…this year a backyard feast is in store on the actual day…and on he goes into another year. xo
It seems impossible to believe this, but 20 years ago we bought this little beach house on Siletz Bay. We’ve tinkered with it a little bit, but mostly it has been an oasis of calm in our busy lives, a family place. I’m entertaining myself this week with some before and after photos…here’s how our […]
Friday I stayed pretty much in the neighborhood, but luckily this is a neighborhood with fun stuff happening…neighbor and book artist Ann Kresge agreed to do a quick tutorial for me on a couple of basic book formats, before I go off to California for my week at the Lost Coast Culture Machine with Carolyn […]
