eastern block
saturday: collected photos that i think are from somewhere in eastern europe since the text on the back is in roman alphabet and not cyrillic. it was all scotch taped up like this when i got it. there is a stamp on it, but i don’t want to remove the tape which is now...
children in the summerland
wednesday: yesterday i spent the afternoon cutting up this old book from new zealand published in 1932 called children in the summerland. it's by a psychic who believes that you don't have to worry about your dead children's clothes in summerland because they will be...
plymouth lies
friday: thumbing though old history text books, this one from 1958, you find a lot of lies. stories told from the patriarchal, racist and misogynistic point of view. i used a story of the first thanksgiving, that in itself a myth, using painting of ships from england,...
what give you the right?
thursday: so thinking of periods, i have always been weirdly drawn to medical illustrations. i found these gynecological ones on archive.org and printed them over layers of old italian lesson books, italianite design and maps of rome. i wanted to express the control...
unclean
wednesday: looking for collage elements, i came across these period chairs, which made me think of menstruation. then i was wondering what goes with that? i have this old book from norway about catholic churches. i was telling my daughter about my thought process and...

channeling JR
when we redid the laundry room there was a weird area over the sink where the paint did not stick. it bubbled up and peeled off. today jake and i created some heads from an old photo that i had collected and we pasted it up in the spot. now i love it.
stamps
i found this artist's work today and i love it, molly rausch. she extends the boundaries of stamps to create more of the world they are found in. i wanted to try my hand at it: using watercolors i only extended one small side. i will try more later.
a dos negros
tuesday: i have a room full of paper, ephemera, photographs and i need to keep working with them. so today i took a book off the shelf called A Dos Negros and decided to use the pages, both text and images, for a new series of collages. it's all in portuguese, and so...
stamp people
monday: randomly selected photographs with applied stamps. funny thing, the image with queen elizabeth and a group of other people, well, believe it or not, i did not look at the captions before placing this stamp on her head, and it turns out her name is "ellie"....
loosen up
sunday: spent the time painting and listening/watching pbs "and she could be next" about women of color and ethnic backgrounds running for office. trying to become looser and more abstract with my brush.
