MFA Boston

Too bad that arm looks a little rubbery, not so attached to the shoulder.  We went to the MFA today and they had a marvelous Paper Zoo exhibit Curated by Cliff Ackley.  They had a marvelous ink drawing (I think) of a porcupine by Leonard Baskin that both girls got a kick out of drawing and a gorgeous print of trout in the water by Neil Welliver, who I just adore.  I didn’t get to draw yesterday so I did two today to make up for it.  Vacation week!!!  I am having a wicked time making a drawing of my middle daughter into a likeness.  In this one I think she looks more like her older cousin.

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.

  1. These are great! Bodies are a struggle sometimes. I’m realizing that I avoid them a little bit. Which means that’s exactly what I need to do.

    Thanks for sharing!
