at the opening of our last show, lea said to me "your work is so devotional". she meant it as a very high compliment. this made me feel understood in a way that was unexpected. even to me. i didn't know i needed to be understood in that context until i was. at dinner the other night, she held my hand and kissed my face. it was such a wonderful moment of connection. later, i asked my sweetheart if he got a kiss from lea too and he said "yes. she's absolutely wonderful!"

That sounds like a wonderful and thoughtful and very true comment, Angela. you are fortunate to have such a talented and loving friend.
That is beautiful and true. I feel the same way. Ahh you should see "Writer" hung front and center in my living room. Amazing. I can't stop looking at it.
love,
Rebecca
elisabeth- yes, very lucky! lea is amazing! i felt so honored to be able to spend so much time with her work during our final show at 890 Valencia. i'd sit in a chair in between her landry lines and just write, write, write. :)
rebecca, YAY!!!! send me a picture! i can't imagine a more perfect home than yours for that piece. it belonged to you from the start. :) thank you!
Angela, I feel this way completely about your work, the way you make everything by hand, your presence in every stitch and stroke, this is devotional. I haven't been in the place lately to go out much to things in person , but someday. In the meantime I'm glad you post photos and excerpts here so that I can appreciate from a near-middle distance...
roz, thank you so much! :) your presence here is more than enough, friend. i feel the same way a lot of the time lately... a sort of hermitage or reclusion... or just me living in my own world. but we share the same stomping grounds so it'll happen one of these days, surely, and how wonderful when that day comes!
