pre-thanksgiving open tea
Posted in Uncategorized on December 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I was about to think that pre-thanksgiving open tea was a bust, with lots of strangers stopping in to chat for a minute, but none of them willing to stop and have tea. Here is a video I made when I finally finished my knitting: The music is St. Vincent, which makes me pine a [...]
Emily of Recycle A Bike Fame!
Posted in Uncategorized on December 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Emily came by about fortyfive minutes after Tom and Allen had left. We had pretty deep conversation kept light by our general buoyancy; a bit of a heart to heart with some zen reflection. Emily says, “every action comes from some place good” while discussing the need to be present with this sentiment. She has [...]
Tom and Allen

Tom and Allen came by at what felt like an insanely early 11:15am, but that didn’t stop us from diving straight into aesthetic/artistic theory. I told them about how reading Relational Aesthetics by Nicolas Bourriaud had heavily inspired the installation. While I’ll pulled up my reflection paper on the book, Allen mused that the term [...]

Michael, Nina, Pat, Trev, and Chris joined me in the window a week from Monday ago to share teas Michael had hand picked in Southern Oregon last summer (Coos Bay, not far from where I temporarily resided in Ashland – small world!) He also brought pastries! Here is the introductory video we made: We discussed [...]

The following Monday morning I got an email confirmation from Devon saying she was meeting me at noon, so I ate a quick breakfast and met her in my PJ’s. What can I say? Some days I don’t make it out of my PJ’s before noon. This is what’s real. Devon works two jobs at [...]
Constructing with Serena

Saturday night two weeks ago, Serena and I had a heart to heart in the window. Serena drank Hot Cocoa because, she says, “You know I have to be different, I have to drink Cocoa.” Awesome. Serena is a timberframer which is a super bad-*ss way to frame houses buy chiseling green (not yet dry) [...]

friday with Will

Will Reeves and I sat down a week and a half ago discussing the diversity of Providence. Providence ranks as the 10th densest metropolitan area, though 136th in overall population which creates a very interesting interplay of economic/racial/urban/suburban/classic/industrial form “all within 10 minutes” says Will. He says he loves the city because of “all the [...]
staying warm with Susan

Susan came to visit one evening two weeks ago. We had a superbly delightful chat about art and activism, her recent time in New Orleans, keeping warm in the winter, and our experiences living in different cities. Of her experience with Providence Dance Troupe she said she loved it because “people think of the craziest [...]
