Tuesday

sound maps . antenna

It is quiet between the walls
the layered textiles
the paper walls
there is a faint sound of strings
i think
and a hum in the clouds
noelle maline

noelle maline
I like the word melancholy
it has a little madness
part sadness
and part magic

I use my antenna to listen 
to the far away distance
the particles and static




 

see sounds and hear shadows . static


only speak in whispers
with accumulated static
the sound of a short wave radio
between the walls
of the old apartment

Tuesday

. eyes and electrical currents .


a few things I worked on last week 
inspired by last month's slow
moving pace
and at the same time
moving like an
electrical current


I have set up a sound system
a few cassette recorders and microphone
a turn table with a broken waltz
in the bathtub
and recorded the sounds
from the pipes under 
the house 


(the full field recording is on the website)


Monday

ghosts of imaginary friends

 these last few months 

especially the weeks 

 and the days 

 have seemed like a collective challenge
and an experiment of how much one 
can endure
through all of this 
that is going on 

being in now 
in a world of uncertainties
for months

has found inspiration in visiting
imaginary friends , ghosts of the past
and memories of others


Ghost of ione
{gouache paint ink mixed media collage on paper}


 Imaginary friend
{gouache paint ink mixed media collage on old photograph}

these new pieces are quiet moments 
taking bits of contemplation
 to step away from the news of the world
 setting aside time 
 sitting in the studio each day
and visiting these friends 






Wednesday

Signals floating on a telephone in the sky

There are a few new lovely things in the art store . I really
like one . The colors . Her black arm band and the
waves below fit nicely on this rectangle .
 Signals floating . Floating signals .



A little communication box . She is in the store
and there are a few other things that she looks good on in
the store also )

Sunday

the sky . one and two .

The other day .. working in the studio . painting the walls
with powder paint and gesso . organizing boxes . the light is just right
in the mornings . a little haze of shade from the half windows and the
pepper trees . paper walls with masking tape from an installation
a few years back .


The parallel worlds we are living in and have been .. are hovering over
us like . reminders of the fog and somewhere in the in between .
mixed media on paper . The sky one and two .



(~sounds from the back of my mind in the back of the studio)
all mine .

Friday

.. September Song and in a Cloud with Rocks and Gems and Cough Syrup ..

Since I am in a haze and my head is fogged up ..
Forgive the scattered clouds .
But I did want to share a little with you .

The other day , I went to the Ghost Town at 
Knott's Berry Farm with a friend .
It had been many years since I had 
walked around this old place .
Looking at all of the details
brought back so many fond memories 
of when I was a kid walking around
with my Mom and Grandma .
I know now that I
want to work in a rock and gem
shoppe and wear an old western dress .

I have been in bed all day long . Fugu is napping
here next to me and the breeze is
blowing though the bedroom curtain .
Been listening to Lotte Lenya and Kurt Weill most of
the day .
It was nice waking up to some pleasant news ..
I found out this morning that I got an award for one 
of my pieces .. The ArtSlant's 7th 2016 Prize 
Showcase Winner for the Mixed Media Category .
Eclipse no.9


It's very peaceful in the house . The last several months have been
soft on slow and it's feels very much like home .
I've been working
on my art in the studio during
the days and watching a lot of wonderfully
good movies at night .
I really feel that it's important to make
your home a rare place where you feel warm and inspired.

It certainly feels special .


Sunday

.. Eclipses , gray matter and parallels ..

I've been working on a few things in a corner 
of my workshop . 
Eclipses , translating shadows and 
gray matter .
Parallel places we travel to  
.. somewhere in the
back of our minds .

Eclipse no. 3

Eclipse no. 10

Eclipse no. 2
