Early Studies for Repurpose Series

This photo is the beginning of one of my 2015 pieces, ” For Dad”(private title) “Renewal” (title for the label) Fits and starts of the boro sensibility, experimentation with different materials, the interrelationship of the wool and the jacquard.

Time

In the airport, grading on my iPhone . Flight delayed. Staying centered. The shirt image is about preservation and connectivity of time.

Indigo

Sausage

Its interesting that artists have explored this theme from the beginning of the twentieth century through now.

Goodbye Elbow.

We loved you so much. Elbow left us permanently July 9, 2013. You will never be forgotten.

My family

My brother posted this today. We are truly blessed.

ProChem

I am really looking forward to Pro Chem this summer. A fantastic studio and space for you to make any new work or do projects and learn new things combining with what you are already doing. Quilters, this is made for you!  

Red chair on ice

I could imagine a slideshow of this posture on this chair in many different settings…on the beach, on the mountain top, in a city street, on top of a building, on the back of a ramp truck…..one slide after the other. (Oh I should mention its my brother. Clearly we have a lot in common.) […]

Percolating

This is on the appalachian trail up by iron mountain. It is a cow drinking thing I think like a cistern.

Ki-mono Reconstruction

I am very fond of boro.  The month my father died, I was studying with Yoshiko Wada, in a workshop with an intense focus on boro textiles, history, philosophy and technique.  Slowly, this sensibility is beginning to creep back into my work; and oddly enough, conceptually, seeds of ideas, past fits and starts, and half […]

Special Day

Those who know me very well know today is a very special day for me

My new studio table

I am happy it is twelve feet long and seven feet wide and I can get all the way around it. It is also made so if I do bigger pieces we can add to it.

Getting back to work

I had a great prognosis this morning. New bone is growing the way it should. Six more weeks in the brace all on track. Up to two miles a day up and Down hills. Never thought I would be grateful to be able to wash dishes.

The walk to the mailbox

The walk to the mailbox has become the days large adventure. My world has become very small. This is the journey to and home from the mailbox. Elbow and I visited the mother spider , you can see her nest in the mail box    

As time passes…

The initial piece is around two by three inches. Yesterday’s grew to about a foot long. Today… We will see…

On guard
