Originally, the idea was this. Two sisters spending one year creating art, or at least creating, every day using only supplies that they already have, get for free, find, or receive...looking to rediscover the artistic selves they've lost somewhere along the way in all the clutter of life... But it didn't fit into life, and so now who knows what you might find?!!

for Matt


We recently had this very cool artist hang a show at the library, Matt Wood.  His work is large, mainly black and white and some of it is a bit alarming.  But it's all fabulous.  Matt is also a compulsive journal maker - he left out reams of paper for patrons to interact with his art (although he invited them to write/color/draw in his journals, no one actually did - they all preferred a blank sheet to create on).  Matt is then going to create another piece of artwork from the doodles & drawings left by patrons (including my sister who was inspired to create her hammered flower piece) so I couldn't let the exhibit end without adding to the pile!  I used a press release I had sent out to the papers for his exhibit and included so words from the article, too.  I am going to miss the gigantic, bold pieces (I think next month's exhibit is bird photos....no comment).
