a new monday. a new week. and it's hard to believe october is already here. it really does feel like we welcomed the new year just yesterday. this year is a steam train.
still: a new monday, a new week. and i welcome it with my own steam and fire. yesterday, an artist i greatly admire came by my place to look at all the work and make happy plans. i'll have more news on that later, but for now- i can't tell you how absolutely wonderful it is to be in the same room with a person who not only appreciates your aesthetic, but believes in the relevance of it because they are a practitioner of that aesthetic as well. us black and white artist girls are in the definite minority so it was so affirming and happy-making to have another woman in the house who knows exactly where i'm coming from. and we talked about painting and drawing and print-making and the glory of oval canvasses and t-shirts and doubled back over the conversation, looping around happy and giddy, discussing every single art related thing and dream that came up. the hour she was here went by so fast. it was awesome.

What a joy, Angela, to share your common loves with another who also sees your point of view. I look forward to hearing more about this.
elisabeth, SUCH a joy! i love hanging out with other artists. it seems so rare these days that i'm actually in the same room, available for these kinds of face-to-face encounters, wrestling and swimming and expressing love for art with another artist. it feels like home when it happens.
i am excited to say more about this too! soon! <3
