Hey Teri, WOw it is really neat to be able to look back over the archives you've kept here and have an idea of your changing work on a grand scale. I am pretty impressed with the amount of time you spend working on painting, drawing etc. It is such a great way to relax and challenge yourself at the same time. I am working as always on multiple projects, and at the moment am not painting, but am working on a conceptual piece for a show in Omaha this weekend. I am taking all of the handouts (scholarly articles, syllabi, notes, communications etc) that I kept from last semester and painting one symbol on each piece of paper from Henry Dreyfuss's "symbol sourcebook" (I recommend looking that up). This work is really about the hierarchy of language, who gets "authority" in the world of letters, and how symbolic language is really an ideologically wrought set of artificial (man-made) signs. I hope that we'll get to chat sometime at length about art and life. I would love to know you better. Hope your winter has been beautiful with much skiing. Love Teal
Your conceptual idea sounds cool and i will look up H.D. as soon as i can. Have you taken Anthro 101 before? Linguistic anthro is really amazing. i hope we can visit you and your family one of these days - i would love to talk about art and life (to me they are one and the same). Winter has been beautiful but i have not been skiing. Doing a bunch of kickboxing, however! Thanks for writing! (and i really enjoy your blog!)
