Home Work For Everybody

People often ask me how I get work done with three year old twins, and I would have to say that work gets done, but the process resembles nothing like the days prior to having children. Space and time are collapsed into some sort of jig-saw puzzle that miraculously gets pieced together throughout the day, although in no specific order. Sure I aim to keep a set schedule and run a tight ship, but the 'happenings' are so numerous, I feel more like a film editor who is marveling at random scraps on the floor that are delightfully out of sequence and literally underfoot.

Fiber is a great medium for artists with families, and given that I prefer to work on projects in the outdoors, there is often opportunity for twining the two. For eye opening inspiration and ideas regarding creative practice and family life, do not miss Broodwork. It will make you feel as if everything and anything is possible, with just the right twist on things.

Ray Graham Collects 1963-2010 at The LAND

"The idea of collecting is so elastic that it can encompass everything from the Met's Vermeers to a drawer full of pebbles or twigs shaped like letters of the alphabet. What gives an object value, and what makes a collection?" 

Ray Graham Collects: 1973-2010 celebrates a collector, a collection, and the art of collecting, and gives free reign to questions not commonly asked about this most universal of aesthetic practices.

THE LAND/gallery November 6-28

Opening reception November 6, 6-9 pm
