Most on my mind, it seems, is recruiting artists for Now:Here:This. I
invited Peter [another] from Mascot Studio framing; my co-collagist, PA
Simko; Yves, the dancer and drawer I met at the Avenue A flea market;
and encouraged Gembeaux, the photo stylist and my spiritual and shopping
guru. I hope they all can experience the magic Peter [Ferko] creates.
Even though I just glued 5 collages, I made this for NHT and it turned-out
to be my favorite. I don't know what to call it. Any ideas? It seems to
be of women that somehow might have been easily overlooked, and that's
why I like them.

Thinking about the shore: the beautiful saturated light and eyepopping color. And everything moving: the wind, the waves, the water, the grass. So much life there!

"A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter. You can write a song anywhere, in a railroad compartment, on a boat, on horseback--it helps to be moving. Sometimes people who have the greatest talent for writing songs never write any because they are not moving."
-Bob Dylan, Chronicles
My brother gave me this book. I think he'd understand what Dylan is talking about--the sweetness and the humor and the truth of it. And it doesn't just apply to song-writing, does it?

Just thinking how glad I am to be in the studio, and making, and able to be a part of N:H:T again.

digital photogram
Lately, I'm having to reflect on the proper perspective on community in light of a multitude of agendas that clammer alongside my own. I'm thinking about the inverse of the common dictate to arrive at my stance of the moment: act globally, be locally.

water drawing
A friend's words keep me alert to the difference between a human being and a human doing, and while frequently I feel like the latter, a new drawing board helps keep me in the moment. Made using a brush and water, my drawings evaporate soon after they're done. You'll never know how many masterpieces and mistakes you've missed! A brush in hand is the best way I know to brush away that copious mind-clutter.

digital photograph
On my mind this morning: sunlight, continuity of experience, perceivable change, persistence of emotional memory, the element of mystery in the process whereby an image rises above the mundane to become poetic.

How many more empty chairs at Memorial Day Cook Outs must there be before the notion of war is realized as being idiotic?

It's always very exciting taking off. Each time it's very different, depending on the place you're flying from. Especially flying from St. Petersburg--it just explains alot about the nature of Russia.
