Camouflage Union Square

It ended up being more powerful to face the rain than the sun. It is always that way. You say that you want to have things go perfectly with clear skies, warmth and glow around but you really don't want it that way. Ambiguity and chaos are more interesting. Face the cold and the shadows and then you have something to remember. Stand in silence, cloaked as nature, in this private act shared.

we took to the streets

My awesome assistant Miyoko and I took to the city to raise all kinds of questions
(and eyebrows.) We siezed the balmy sunny global-warmed Sunday to set up our performance. More to follow...

Insecurity Blanket

(photo documentation of new fiber piece by me Anna P. )

After learning that we still are, and forever may continue to live at Level Orange, I decided to give my insecurity blanket a try on today. It is a 15 foot piece of government issue desert camouflage that I have altered by adding hundreds of pieces of cut Hawaiian shirts. I was thinking of Klimt's Judith series and Nick Cage's sound suits while I styled these shots. I feel that it needed to be a cloak, even though I keep trying to make it a wall hanging. Yeah wall hanging, who am I kidding? When have I ever made something that fits comfortably into one category. Maybe next I grab Miyoko-san as my fearless assistant and take it to the park...

I reshot today after a night of Klimt research. I transformed myself into the redhead 'Truth' who shines back light from the mirror of truth. Throw in a little reference to 'Hope II,' and I think I have made progress.
