My entire vision of the next half year changed this morning. Tuition bills can do that. I do look forward, however, to making more art than expected. Survival and fun!
This will be my third post on Roxanne Jackson. The first was a result of shock and awe. The curator at the gallery I work at showed me her website and while my jaw was dropping and eyes widening I formulated what images I wanted to pull for a post on her work. Its gory, beautiful, brutal, soft, animal, and human. Eventually she had a show at our gallery that is where the second post came from.
Roxanne has been invited as a resident artist at the Zentrum fur Keramik (the Ceramic Center) of Berlin. She needs us to help out by making a pledge to support some of the costs of the trip. I’m happy to say I’ve made a pledge and hope that you do too. Take a look at what she is offering for pledges and learn more about her here. Having met Roxanne personally and worked with her during the installation I have found her to be a dedicated and inspirational artist. Take a look, think about it, and help a strong artist out!
Its been a pleasure hosting couch surfers at our house. So far we’ve had about 5 since our house went up on the site. I have to say its been great interacting with such a variety of wonderful people! One of our surfers dropped of a giant box of paints for me, incredible.
I’m traveling to madison in a couple of days to see friends and family. Its going to be a much needed release since I’ve been busier than I was with 4 studio classes in my last semester of art school:
