1. Drawings in my studio.
2. In the 1950's my grandparents who lived in Madrid with their children (my mom being the eldest of the six) sent this hand embroidered tablecloth to my Irish- Catholic great aunties in Worcester, MA. There it lived folded in a dresser along with twelve matching napkins in a dresser for about fifty years. I'm thinking the aunties thought it to be too precious for any sort of use. The napkins are still all threaded together as a set. My mom passed it along to me. We are giving it some well deserved attention as a cover on our bed.
3. In February, I was so thrilled to visit "Wangechi Mutu: A Fantastic Journey" at the Brooklyn Museum. Along with the sumptuous collages and visceral drawings, I loved seeing Wangechi Mutu's connection with one of my favorite musicians, Santigold. There is a wonderful conversation about their collaboration on the animation "The End of Eating Everything"
here.
4. Let's visit Hawaii again... in the meantime, this spectacular mural festival in Honolulu:
Pow! Wow! Hawaii.
5. The work of
Feodor Voronov makes me swoon.
6. I just finished working on a bunch of drawings for
Unbored Games. Out in October! So exciting!
7. Too many public school teachers feel
this way.
