painting
One of a series of strange abstract spaces. From 2007. This particular image no longer exists because I painted over it. 9″X12″ panel with acrylic.
how to fold a t-shirt
I learned this handy skill from a pdf on marthastewart.com. Now that I know how to fold, I wish I only wore t-shirts just so I could fold them and put them into drawers.
view from Whitehall ferry building
sketch from the ferry buildling looking southwest- statue of liberty on the right, one of Olafur Eliasson’s waterfalls on the left.
A good thing to do in New York city is to take the Statten Island ferry (for free) and take a round trip from the southern tip of Manhattan. Currently, artist Olafur Eliasson’s four waterfalls are on display as a public installation.
On this trip to New York, I left my weighty manual camera at home so I could draw more. I definitely end up with fewer images, but soak in more details through observing.
mother reading
mother reading on the couch. This is the only time I am able to observe her in stillness for long enough.
NY: Beacon
a view of the Hudson river from the train station in Beacon. We went to visit the Dia museum, which was amazing in terms of its airy gallery spaces and architecture as well as the art works, but more on that later. The landscape as seen from the Metro North railway was of the Hudson river and some swamps and a horizontal mountain wall. It is surprising how rural the land becomes as you ride out north from Manhattan.
