Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll keep the commentary to a minimum.

“Progress always involves risk; you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.” —Frederick Wilcox.

After taking over 500 photos, I figured I’d give my camera a break and draw. #toro

I went to the Guggenheim in Bilbao today and am so happy that I did. The building itself is incredible, and the enormous sculptures surrounding it were inspiring. No photos were allowed in any of the exhibits, so I sat on the floor drawing them. I was most moved by the work of artist #JoanaVasconcelos who transformed objects into other, oversized ones. For instance, “Red Independent Heart” is made of red plastic forks, spoons, and knives. “The Bride” was made of OB tampons strung on cotton thread into a chandelier like object, “Marilyn,” which was a pair of high heeled shoes, was made of steel pots, pans, and lids. The two most powerful pieces for me were “Call Center” and “Burka.” “Call Center” assembled antique black phones ringing in different patterns, often sounding like the gun that they formed. “Burka” was a mannequin head wearing a burka and draped in other fabrics. Every so often, the head was lifted on a crane, the fabric flowing beneath her like a dress, and then she was dropped without warning, causing a startling boom. The first time I heard her fall, I almost yelled. The next time she fell, a group of kids walking by, all jumped in unison.

I could watch these beautiful, silken, lace creatures dance for hours @calacademy

Lightning strikes twice apparently!! I can’t contain my excitement that @sfmoma tagged me again in #SubmissionFriday Thank you @claybythebaysf for giving me a second home and place to create, and bringing such wonderful teachers like @brettkernart to help all of us grow. I am so grateful for the amazing community you have created. Much love! 💕💕💕 . . . #clay #ceramic #sculpture
