Berkeley Art Center Members Showcase

December 11, 2010 –
January 23, 2011

This is a wonderful show at the Berkeley Art Center. Please come by and see my new work.

Mommy's Studio

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays a mommy from the drive to get to her studio.

This lightbox resonates as a reminder of my life with young kids. It is the studio of Kendra Dodsworth who is renting my old studio in Berkeley.

New Works on Metal

The End of the World as We Know It from the Reflecting on Reflection is a triptych on metal Each section is 12 x 18". It is a post election meditation on climate change, and the proposed elimination of the EPA and the Clean Air and Water Acts. © 2010








An installation shot with detail from a series of drawings on metal based on those made at Can Serrat residency in Barcelona, Spain last April. The upturned almond roots became metaphors for change, displacement and loss and will be included in Arbres Arencats d'Ametles, my upcoming Artist Book with poems by Maw Shein Win to be completed in 2011.

Bioneers 2010

"When I think about the Endangered Lessor Long Nosed Bat (pollinator of the Agave Plant from which Tequila is Made)I I Go Batty" was made

for Vanishing Pollinators

An Ecoart exhibit produced by
WEAD, The Women Environmental Artists Directory
For the 2010 Bioneers Conference, October 15 – 17
Marin County Civic Center, San Rafael

I had not known that the bats were pollinators or even that they were endangered until I started my research for this show. When I found out they are important pollinators of the agave plant from which tequila is made, I realized we definitely need this bat!

Appropriate to the 2010 Conference focus on food and farming, exhibit artists explore the urgent plight of endangered pollinators. Essential to survival of all plants and trees, fruits and vegetables, pollinators range from beetles, bats, butterflies, and moths to ants. The media often ignores the issue’s urgency. Fortunately, the federal government, recognizing incipient danger, is now initiating research to develop programs to deter decline.

Teaching Contradiction: Reality TV and Art School

This is a terrific article! Have a read....Teaching Contradiction: Reality TV and Art School

I am currently showing four lightboxes at the Marina Abramovic Institute West located at 575 Sutter Street in San Francisco. The show will be up through September. Please stop by and have a look.

The Art of the Book show started this past weekend. Three of my new books are in the show; Dragons to Slay, Nuggets and Shhhhh!.

The reception for the artists is this Saturday, June 12 from 6 to 8pm at Donna Seager Gallery. Come on by to view some incredible work.

Friday is Sant Jordi Day here in Catalonia. It is their equivalent to St. Valentine's Day. Men give women roses and women give men books (!) but some women get books now too. I will be showing some of my artist books and some of the work I have made here that will be artist books later and trying to explain this in Catalon!

Blogging from the Catalan

Working daily on my "blog". So many new experiences and sites to write about!

Can Serrat

Can Serrat is very inspiring between the old farmhouse compound and the Monserrat Mountains just behind. I think it will be a productive time.
