This mandala was created at the Open Space Visitor Center on Sunday, December 19th. Even though I was feeling punky with a little cold, I wanted to be a part of this project; the goal was to create an edible, compostable, artful mandala of seeds for wildlife in the area. The project opened with a [...]

beckoning the vulture
Posted in Uncategorized on October 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
“Artists necessarily beckon the vulture.” This is on of my favorite quotes, from the sculptor Anne Truitt, who wrote a great book on being an artist, a journal called Daybook. I’ve been thinking about the quote quite a lot, lately, as I recently dismembered a sculpture/book that I created for an exhibit in [...]
adieu, Louise Bourgeois

I have to say that Bourgeois is one of my top-five favorites… she was such a bad ass. In 2008 we got to see her amazing retrospective at the Pompidou; we stumbled off our flight to Paris, jet lagged and wired, and went straight to the museum, where we fueled up on espresso and had [...]
Women in Black

Saturday, April 24th, 12:20-ish (MST): Women in Black on Women’s Focus, KUNM 89.9 FM radio. In 2007, I began standing with the Albuquerque contingent of Women in Black, an international women’s movement for peace. It’s hard to sum up how this practice has moved through my life; I’ll just say that an hour a week, [...]

As part of Atlas Obscura Day, dorodango master Bruce Gardner taught a small group of us how to make beautiful little mud balls. Dirt & water, that’s all you need, folks. Oh, and patience, and a sensitivity to what the mud is [...]

A box of “garbage” came in the mail today. I shipped diaries (from my 15th and 16th years) to Vermont, where I crumpled them up during my artist residency. I couldn’t decide what to do with them while I was there, so I shipped them back to myself in Albuquerque. Ridiculous. On the plus side, [...]

I didn’t think I’d post while I was at my artist residency in Vermont. But today I checked a great blog that I haven’t looked at in months, gardenhistorygirl, and I got so excited that I felt compelled to post something myself. This is a drawing that is way in process. It will be changing [...]
