I know there is possibly nothing worse than other people’s trip stories, but hey…my blog. (My readership is down to virtually nothing anyway, so why not??!) Please skip happily over this. After a long hot summer, I set off on a trip which began with five days in the studio of my oldest friend Carolyn […]

Art Laundry and Where Art Comes From
This week of working in the backyard studio with Carolyn Schneider, somebody I’ve known since the 7th grade when we met in an art class, has been fun. Interesting. Poignant. Hilarious. Sad. Our own work, our dead mothers and fathers, our family dynamics, aging, our own work…all this talk whirling around while we have worked […]
Art Laundry, III
Carolyn Schneider and I met in a 7th grade art class. Our first forays into the art world were on the subway into the city to go to the Art Institute of Chicago when we were 13. We’ve been looking at art, thinking about art and making art ever since. For the last decade we’ve […]
What Was Art Laundry?
Carolyn took the last load out of the dryer yesterday… and we packed up, taking only a little bit of time to reflect on what happened here after we walked into a cavernous unlit space on August 24… We brought art supplies, ironing boards, sewing machines, mannequins, tables and chairs and “set up shop”. We […]
Art Laundry, Day 3
Carolyn Schneider and I have just completed the third day of “Art Laundry II”, part of Salem Art Association’s Project Space, 2015. Our proposal was to work in the space daily and build an installation where we examined the threads between “women’s domestic work” and art work. How they might be similar, how they might […]
Art Laundry 2
In 2012 I went to Fort Bragg, California, to make art with my friend artist Carolyn Schneider, and to put up a show called “Art Laundry” at the Lost Coast Culture Machine Gallery. We had fun, worked hard, and the show was a success and held over for another month. Carolyn discovered her latent desire […]
ART LAUNDRY
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 […]
Art Laundry…Part 1
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 […]
Artweek…2011
Here’s a little story…two girls met in art class in 7th grade. They became friends. They dressed in black (like “beatniks”) and took the El to the Loop to the Art Institute to “hang out”…and many years later they began the annual “artweek” visitations. Sometimes in Carolyn’s studio in California, sometimes in mine in Salem. […]
LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE: Carolyn Schneider and “The Lost Coast”
Sunday was another sunny day and we headed north across the Golden Gate to Fort Bragg (about 10 miles north of Mendocino). They call it the “Lost Coast” for reasons I don’t know but it IS a hike–four hours from any airport etc. It rained and poured the day I was there so I have […]
