November 3, 2012


  Sandy hit the east coast hard. We were spared although it was a very scary night for me. A massive branch fell in our backyard. We were so lucky because it didn't hit anything.We spent a few days in the dark and then got our power back on the night of halloween. I feel pretty fortunate and pretty freaked out by the whole storm. I know that the whole world doesn't revolve around NYC but it's my first home and to not be there for the first time during a huge disaster has me feeling very displaced. 

I'm crushed by the tragedy there. The loss of lives, homes, art.
Trying to get back to normal now. 
I cut all my hair off.
I was needing to feel like it's time to stop hiding.

working...

I've been working a lot at a stage in Greenpoint Brooklyn. I have to walk over a bridge to get there which always annoys me until I'm there. Then I love it. It's another chance to see the world differently.





 I did manage to get a day in at Lawrence farms. This is Buddy whose gotten even bigger! I talked about him here.

the space between

I've been thinking about how we can shift focus and the world looks different. Sometimes it's a really small shift, almost imperceptible but everything changes because of it, like a butterfly's wing in Japan.
Sometimes, I need to see the space in between, the negative space, the space we sometimes throw out,or don't even notice, to be able to see it all. Stillness helps.
