week 24 in my “this is where i am from” year long project:
I dreamed I was standing alone, at night, by the stonewall looking down the hill to the neighbors barn and the moon fell out of the sky, in a long arc, like a shooting star.

week 24 in my “this is where i am from” year long project:
week 23 in my “this is where i am from” year long project:
I’ve made some new toadstools from a wonderful collection of Sri threads textiles – mostly antique garment fragments. They will be available in my shop at 7:30 pm tonight (May 31st New York time). You will also find a spider and a rutabaga made from the same group of Japanese textiles (you can see the fabrics here if you like). PS -If you are in France or traveling there this summer you can visit an exhibition of Sri’s magnificent boro collection at Domaine de Boisbuchet: “Boro–The Fabric of Life,” Summer 2013 – opening June 7th. Pretty fancy. week 22 in my “this is where i am from” year long project: My father was not great at occasions- birthdays anniversaries etc. But one year for my Mother’s birthday in January he surprised her with a number of small improvements – little conveniences and pleasures. A reading light over the bed and lots of others I don’t remember. I do remember the thermometer – installed outside the kitchen window. Placed, I’m sure, to factor in light and shadow to offer the most accurate reading. I watched the thermometer carefully in the last weeks of winter hoping for 55 F – when it got to 55 spring was a real possibility. week 21 in my “this is where i am from” year long project: Pine trees have always felt like melancholy things to me, one that felt particularly so was a down on its luck pine that stood (and maybe still stands) at the top of the hill that led down to the near swamp. A big shabby affair that whispered and creaked and moaned as if it needed to tell you how tired it was. I’ve been photographing my paint boxes for years -I think they just get more and more interesting – you can see some others here. week 20 in my “this is where i am from” year long project: week 19 in my “this is where i am from” year long project: Fiddleheads, Ferns, Jack In The Pulpit and Salamanders – forest wonders.
I’m so pleased to be featured in “Little Thing” (China) magazine . It’s a beautiful issue – all about mushrooms! The article features some of my early things – when I was just beginning and it’s nice to visit those ideas again. You can see the interview here. And right next door to my interview is another with The Fabulous Mister Finch! The magazine is beautifully put together – there is even a pop up. And in keeping with the fungi theme I’ll leave you with a little preview of a Sri Threads mushroom I’m working on. |
