My friend Fern has started a fun art-sharing project (or experiment even) called discard, where you swap out artwork from pockets (like the kind that used to be in the back of library books, about a million years ago) that have been put up in public places. She sent me two such pockets; one I placed at the street-level entrance to my studio (good shelter in the doorway, on a busy street, access to other artists) and the other one I'm sending to a thoughtful girl in Norway. These things are going all over the world!
C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *
Oh. Thank you Berger.
