Drawing from Within

The intense but definitely worth the work class Peter London resided over a few weeks ago was challenging and brought a lot of deep emotions and thoughts. The piece on the right was one that came out of part of the work and for me signifies my seven stars, my kids and their significant others. This is a piece I think I will add to over time to include my going on five grandkids, more stars brought down from the sky to bless my life. The piece on the left is from Karen Sjoholm's Creativity and Consciousness and was my take on the black box and my inner opposite.

The Force - one of my favorite video performances

Creative Video Performances

I realize this is a car commercial, yet when I saw it I thought, "whoever decided to take a fantasy from a land far far away and turn it into a creative force was damn good." So here is.....

Sha Sha Higby

Sha Sha is amazing to me. After I saw her performance in an art history class I was entranced. I grew up in dance and ballet and it is still a huge part of my life but her movements are mezmerizing. JJ when you said you had seen one of her performances that blew me away and I hope to see her someday. Thanks for sharing my thoughts about her sculptures, costumes, performance and attitudes. I have included a link to the UTube on The Glass Jungle. Enjoy!

ATA Gallery and Craig Baldwin

Our SF fieldtrip was a blast. I started off meeting up with Elizabeth and Sara to take Bart to the city. We toured the Mission District and stopped by a video film company, then hit up a few places to get inspiration for our 3D projects followed up by dinner at an awesome falafel place close to ATA. Then we met up with everyone else and Robyn and spent the next three hours trying to absorb as much as possible from Craig Baldwin who proceeded to give us a humongous video history lesson. This man is amazing and his knowledge is off the charts. However, I was indeed having a rough time making notes to reference later. His film storage library blew my mind. Afterwards I decided to look him up on the internet and this man has more entries than you can imagine and his career spans decades! I did however feel like a mole after spending so much time in his basement studio because I need light, light, light as an artist! The site logo I felt I had to share it with you. There were some ideas for a 3D project, but I am not sure I am ready for video production, but we will see!
