Just finishing up another set of #108meditations These are intended to become vertically viewed public art installations. The back of each piece is drilled to accept small stainless steel rods, which allow them to appear as though they are floating above the surfaces they are installed upon.

This happens to be the World's Greatest Grilled Cheese Sammie: whole grain sour dough bread, Monterey Jack, butter & garlic sauteed mushrooms, fresh basil leafs sliced tomato, radish & red clover sprouts. Grill it slowly and flip it regularly until it's hot all the way through. You will love it!

I think the last time we pissed off Canada was 1812..and they won.

Right? They even forgave us for getting stupid with them in the war of 1812, but now we're going to start a whole new level of stupidity.

It's been a little over a year since I quit, and this guy showed up in my feed. So I figured it was a message worth sharing.

I know you've probably seen this and heard about her, but as far as I'm concerned this is close to the only voice worth remembering from the inauguration.

Like a bridge over troubled water:
Cornelia Konrad's original intent when creating "the bridge" in 2018, was to allow for some ambiguity. " Is the bridge coming together or falling apart? " Now near inauguration day, it reminds me of a national divide.

Thankfully we have the artists, when everything changes, the Arts remain a pathway. An introduction to both truths and deceptions. Without the artists many of these issues would be left ignored or unspoken. So whether they dance, paint, or write we should allow ourselves to pay attention.

When writing becomes images:

A great interview with RaMell Ross. Unbound (and untrained) in the rules of filmmaking.
He seems driven to place both himself and the viewer "within" the narrative. Driven to bring a new take to the art of storytelling. It sounds like a powerful viewing experience!

This is a great interview, it's also the first of the Art2Life podcasts I've listened to. I'm sure I'll be back for more!

Wrote two letters of recommendation for grants to be awarded to a Scottish Artist (accepted into the Royal College of Art ) and Bam! they got paid!

Calcium in the water bleeds out through porous ceramic vessels and forms a crust on the exterior as the water evaporates out of it.
