dix jours




it has been 10 days since i returned from my trip to RI visiting this amazing art studio. an incredibly intelligent, humble and generous duncan, http://www.duncanlaurie.com, welcomed me into his space where several of his guest artists/friends helped me aquire certain skills for composing moving visuals. the ocean air with accompanying sounds of seagulls and deep clang of buoys created the most beautiful and misty interlude into the evening for the magic hours for playing with light and images. with a handfull of mixed clips collected over the past two years, i was able to play with such an incredible range of aesthetic effects, filters and layers. the translucent veil of color and light from projections into a large open space was quite a release of tension from the mental muddiness of a routine life. upon the transition back to denver, i found that i had a different approach to everyday life. keeping things mixed up and not allowing myself to be attached, ten days has somehow stretched in my own comprehension to encompass a variety of experiences! not just another week slipped by....this can be a technique to practice. a lot of nice things happen, positive exchanges, allowing things to pass through me and bring me to the next...

woke up to bbq smells...



today is 4th of july, so no errand running today. i have recently left my service job and so now have a lot of time but little funds. however, even the small amount of food i'm able to purchase and cook myself, tastes good. so the ideas run wild, crafting, making fashion accessories is fun, but hasn't proven lucrative as of yet. the work of going out there, self promoting, selling my wares will happen tommorow and in the next few weeks. many ideas fill in this open vast space of relaxed summer thinking. many things have changed dramatically for me. since the art show on the 23rd, the lid burst open and shits just plain crazy! but i fall asleep with a smile on my face, optomistic and feel that things are as they should be.
