Artwork Around

Hi All - Just a quick note to let you know that I have artwork in two shows this fall -

I have one newly-completed piece ("Walking At Night," see below) at the Tamarack Nature Center in White Bear township (Woodbury): "Studio Art Quilts Associates" Exhibition, Opening Reception on November 5, 2010, 5:30pm to 7:30pm.This is group show, presented by members of SAQA-MN.

I have one slightly older piece ("Keep Looking") in another group show of "spiritual works" at St. Martin's Table on the west bank, Minneapolis. This show was installed today. There will be two artist talks; the second is tentatively scheduled as a "closing reception" on December 18, 2010. More info as it comes to me. The show was curated by Lynnette Black and Betty Olson.

Who says I never finish anything!

Found fabric and objects; commercially produced fabrics, laser prints, yarn, dryer lint, paper, beads.

Moonlight on the brightest nights allows some colors to come forward while most recede; pinks, blues, pale yellows, others. Birds, sleeping or silently watchful, rest in the trees. I walk a great deal and used to enjoy going out by night, feeling invisible, listening to sounds that the day conceals and imagining the lives behind glowing windows on quiet streets. I don’t feel safe anymore (as a woman alone) taking walks at night; but I have a friend who still enjoys that freedom, who sometimes reports back to me the sounds and scents of a midnight walk in the city. I sometimes dream about flying at night, safe above the trees, transformed and weightless.
