Gold at the End of the Rainbow

May 20, 2010

Yesterday there was a huge rainbow in the early evening sky. David and I saw it from my window; he explained that it was made up of particles and smog. I argued that rainbows are what happen when angels have orgasms. Later, in my sleep, I dreamed that the rainbow had come closer and closer [...]

The Places I Can Go When I Don’t Know Any Better

May 17, 2010

I just had an amazing dream. I was invited to be in a high-wire bicycle act. The performer who was training me was adament that I would do just fine–but there was no training per se, just putting me on the bicycle and setting me off onto the wire. At first, and oddly, I was [...]

Keep On Truckin’

May 9, 2010

Having some trouble today keeping faith. Fear. Sorrow. Grief. Emotions and doubts clouding this big-blue-sky morning. The feelings get all jumbled up and it is difficult to rise above the mess. What is what? That twist in my belly, is it fear? The tension in my brow, is it anger? Or, more fear? The hot [...]

Caught in Gramma’s Notions

April 27, 2010

A name arrived this morning for my piece at SEAF: Caught in Gramma’s Notions. This is the piece that started out as a “wall treatment” and which has evolved to be an “installation.” And yes, I am excited about that. This has been the convergence of several threads, including friendships and smaller projects in the [...]

Just say, “Yes” to Seattle Erotic Art Festival

April 24, 2010

During my Mondo Beyondo work last month, one day the lesson was about saying, Yes. Part of the premise was about not seeing ourselves the same old way, and thereby releasing self-imposed restrictions on the possibilities for our lives. Luckily, that was the same day that I was approached to create a wall ornamentation at [...]

Exit Through the Gift Shop

April 23, 2010

Following on yesterday’s post about the street art under the First Avenue Bridge, tonight I watched the Seattle premiere of Exit Through the Gift Shop. I admit that I have a more friendly attitude toward street art than many folks do. Probably this film will be condemned because it honors “vandalism.” I think the movie [...]

Under a Big Top?

April 12, 2010

I mean, I could live anywhere, right? Why the hell not live in a circus tent?!? At least that’s the notion that crept up on me today. Another day of Mondo Beyondo dreaming sprinkled with a dose of Empire Building. And up pops the realization that a home (my home) can take any of many [...]

Dreaming. On a Mondo Scale.

April 6, 2010

The exercise is to stream-of-consciousness write down my dreams. The premise is that my un-edited self knows what I truly want. The goal is to unleash and unfurl. In case I didn’t get you the memo, speaking up for myself, asking for what I want—not my forte. So, dreaming, really big dreaming—difficult! Here are my [...]

Another one with me in the water.

April 3, 2010

I entered a pool. It was cold and dark and deep. There was a large sheet of blank, white paper involved somehow, and I descended into the water. I was not sinking, but was being pulled deeper and deeper. I knew there was mud beneath me and I was being pulled to it. But the [...]

How Does a Garden Grow?

March 31, 2010

Last summer I opened my heart to the garden. I had finally convinced my husband that the sooner plants go into the ground, the sooner they prosper–and he went to work removing a sidewalk and a giant concrete patio from the property–concrete that was covering up areas where we planned to plant a slew of [...]
