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

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

paint, ink, gesso on gelatin silver print

. recorders for eyes .

recording memories 

and eavesdropping on dreams

somewhere in the back of my mind

her eyes are recorders

somewhere in the back of someone else's dreams ..

sounds of movements

 

recording dreams

recording dreams

with imaginary devices

. 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)

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 

October ghost

I'm a ghost

 

October November 

the longest months

I'm a ghost

mixed media

gouache and paint on found cabinet card

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 )

Art . Prints and other things

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 .

Echoes .

Levitation in a box .
Today's mixed media small work
from my desk in the studio .
Her echoes float .



Ink , paint , old photo .
in an upside down world .

Wires . Static and Telephone Poles

Through the wires and the static .

Under the telephone poles .

a few of my recent ones .

mixed media 

communication 

language

.. 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

http://www.artslant.com/la/works/show/1001483-eclipse-no9

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 .

.. 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
