Research Club

Wow, this year.... seems like a scramble of tending to the next highest priority. I let one low-priority item jump to the top of the list last week and restored a rocking chair about three times older than me, but now it's back to dj-ing. I spent the last two days at the Research Club constructing a few white walls suitable for showing art, and now I need to get some more content uploaded to the website. But I wanted to share about RC and include this recording of Nim explaining a bit about the history and future...

yes, thank you, that was completely lovely

are occasionally overwhelming for this little lady with hermetic tendencies. This year I am focussed on connecting as a professional with the wide world of possibility. Portland is full of good food, great ideas, wildly creative people, and no money. That kind of works with my m.o. I'm working towards insinuating my work into cafe settings- and I got into Art in the Pearl, a high-end affair, so we'll see just how much money there isn't on Labor Day weekend.

I spent the first few months of this year in the tumble of a new job, new lovers, new friends, teaching, and making sculpture. My old friend Richard and I filled the Tin Man with our work two weeks ago, and were joined this round by Lauren, a new friend from NYC. Lauren and I have become fast friends, and I hope that she will continue to join us. With the completion (and yes, success) of the firing, I feel more settled, and eager to return to functional work.

In a week or two, I will be ready to present the new website Tim and I have been working on- long-awaited for me... hard to put together a confident website before I have a high-quality "product", as Pop refers to my pots. It was only last year that we got the kiln figured out.

so much- it is exciting! and I am stretched.
