Je ne sais quoi, but I like it.

As I stand where I am this brisk and monochrome morning, grinding my coffee as I always do in my grandmother’s wooden box grinder, I consider how I want to begin this new year. 2008 has certainly been a wild ride: very huge highs and very deep lows and, to my surprise and awe, somewhere [...]
Burnination.

Wow. I never thought I’d be at the point in my practice when I could say that I am very tired of writing grant proposals. I have been so active in finding and applying for opportunities that it is difficult for me to see my own work well enough to write about it objectively anymore. [...]
Inside Texas.

Soon I will be driving 1200 miles to the middle of nowhere Texas to dig a hole as deep as I am tall. Around the hole will fall circles of handmade, life-sized concentric trenches built by pickaxe, shovel, might and sheer will. So continues my inquiry into body studies: movement inside landscape; exploring toil as [...]
We am Somebody!

We got the grant!
My beloved and I were writing and rewriting daily for a good solid month for this one…talk about feeling insane! Two days ago, he called me with the good news as I was driving to work and I just started screaming glad tidings into the whole world (of the cab of [...]
Birth.

Cotton. Cats. Ideas.
Rejoice! My first green cotton plant has sprouted! I started the seedlings a little behind schedule, but one has already emerged, yawning and stretching, and that is a good sign. I also planted, for the second time, Valencia peanuts- I used lighter soil this year so the peanuts wouldn’t turn [...]
Loonar eclipse of the heart.

I am losing my fondness for writing today due to this hopeful/insufferable grant proposal.
I read an entire kids’ book out loud en español, and I do not speak the language.
I finally got paid this afternoon. One down, ? to go.
Kalamazoo Porter is delicious (the ex-Bells’ beer famine is over!). Thank you.
This lunar eclipse was brilliant [...]
Peepshow crows.

Before I dive into Everything today, I must say out loud that I have been thinking of incorporating more than just the sound of crows into my performances, I want to start using their imagery as well. I have used the angry, tattered din of blue jays and the lonely, resigned coos of mourning [...]
Yarrr! The Dreaded Artist Statement!
Posted in artist practice, performance, tagged artist statement, entropy, hairball, performance, pirate, process, revision on 18 February 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sometimes feels like it will be the death of me, and I’ve only just begun writing several of them for my multitude of endeavours. Being a person who is rather thinky and branchy by nature, to ask myself to actually sit still for once and analyze the who what where when why of it all [...]
Everybody get stoopid!

In trying to remember what I learned today of note, then barely being able to remember the basics of what I even did all day, what I did remember was this interview I heard on Fresh Air yesterday (?) with a woman who wrote a book about the normal memory loss which accompanies growing older. [...]
