my practice has multiple personality disorder
today is all headless dolls and glitter...

the little dots all around their feet are orbs of gold and black glitter on a velvet ground of black gouache. their shoes are bright, sparkling silver.
shining things are hard to photograph.
i'm thinking of sylvia plath and wanting to read The Bell Jar. again. :)
the title comes from her poem "Words".

anonymity
redaction
identity
a document of Unimportance
a document of lost stories
unknown histories
histories that don't matter
who gets to be pictured and who doesn't...
and those white socks just kick me right in the heart.

sisters...
i've been saving a big stack of drawings and mixed media work that i had cut down in to small, irregular squares just waiting for a bright idea to come along. but more and more, the idea of storing stuff for some far-off rainy day that might not ever show up has got me not only in the mood to start letting go of the unused items in my life but, also, to start putting some of these little gems to good use. so the other night, i got the big stack out and noticed that a ton of them function beautifully as formal abstractions in their own right and a boat-load more of little pieces that seemed ideal as a backdrop for something more realistic- environments with potential. i decided to just play and see where i'd end up.

this is the third time i've used this image and the more i use it the more i love it. it helps me revisit my own childhood, my sister's and my past, being alone together so often and finding ways to get by, play, feel happy, and scrape something together that could resemble dinner. i feel so close to this image and this won't be the last time i use it. not even close.
