August slipped away.
But not without notice.
It was a month of bi-coastal collaborative projects, sailing, swimming, stitching and seaweed.
Collage, drawing, dyeing, and weaving.
Might sound busy - but I have taken a huge note from the Covid-19 slow down. This quiet pace, this slower being in the world…suits me. It’s healthier and more conducive to creative pathways. So I will do my best to be anchored in this place of quiet and creativity.
Here are some news and highlights from the last month (follow the links below for more info and Instagram for more images)
Exhibits:
“Mandatory Color” Surface Design Association Juried Exhibit, Museum of Texas Tech University
October - December 2020
“Members Juried Biennial” Fuller Craft Museum. New Bedford, MA. February - October 2020
Collaborative Projects:
“Call and Response” Round 4 and 6 - a cross country distance, rapid fire collaborative project. Fun way to get creative juices flowing and to loosen up one’s attachment to medium, method and materials.
Circle Q Collaborative Book Project with Textile Arts LA. Ten artists, ten books with ten pages each. These books traveled across the country from Boston to LA. and finally returned home filled with amazing and creative expressions.

In my own studio and beyond:
I found sea weed makes a great fiber, that drawing birds can be meditative, that swimming is my escape.
I stitched on birch bark and shells.
I wove yards and yard of linen to over dye with indigo for towels.
I printed with rusty objects and elderberries on paper.
August has truly slipped away. Our September full moon has waxed and waned.
I’m ready to call the names of migratory birds.
Let’s fly home.
