Buzzing Stillness - Cyanotype Always mesmerized by the way the tusche wash reticulates while drying. Patterns appearing as the grease elements from the wash are suspended in water and evaporate. - #reticulatedwash #tuschewash #cyanotypes #blueprints #printmaking #cyanomasters #alternativeprocess #reticulation

Celebrating my love, Vincent Waring, who I met in an art studio over 15 years ago now. I fell in love with him first through his artwork, which had so much to say. I am pausing to celebrate Vince, who finally let me take his handsome portrait, who has quietly made so many deeply beautiful bodies of work, and who always shows up in supportive ways for others, and is practicing showing up for himself now, too. It is a joy, a necessity to be an artist, when called, and a challenge to make a livelihood from something that is more a spiritual calling than anything else. How bizarre to have to commodify something so personal to buy the bread to once again have the presence of life force to make the thing. Anyone else mystified? One law of nature is change and we see evidence of impermanence all around us. Other things are not so certain. Do we all agree money is a concept made up that our world in so many ways now pivots centrally around? Warped and misguided, yet here we are! Through it all, artists need and are worthy of visibility, recognition, community, and support. Join me in supporting this humble man in aligning with his dreams, of being seen and well, of having the gift of his work finding its sacred home, of finding his meaningful place in this world. On his website are an array of gorgeous works, and samples of the stunning range of offerings he has created to share. I hope his work adds beauty to your lives and sanctuaries, your homes, as it does, as a form of daily sustenance, in mine.

One of the dimensions of our creative practice is centered around a relationship with place, and includes processes of regeneration and sustainability. Prior to taking an international flight, I worked within my local community and in our @gatewayschoolsantacruz learning garden to plant 12 diverse trees with children. With the gift of time in Italy, and the inspiring invitation to create work within the soon to be blossoming home garden of Mikelle and Simone, we engaged in a cultural exchange. From the blessing of staying up late in connective conversation to taking many small trips to learn and connect more with the people and plants of this special region, we were inspired to share some of our foundational soil cultivation practices from here at home. Mikelle @l.mikellestandbridge shared some wood scraps from a conservative restoration project she is engaged in at the Casa Regis studio space and Vince @vinwaring worked with them to hand-build a vermicomposting vessel. This box is where we saved and placed the food scraps from our various special meals. As part of our time we had a magical visit with Sissi @sissi.castellano and Stefano @panconesis who are masters in weaving and natural dye! In reciprocity for a generous visit to their garden, home studios, and workshop, we prepared a local, seasonal feast from the regional organic Farmer’s Market in town @leteatbi ! I already believed in magic, but that feeling has only grown since learning about the remarkable @michelangelo_pistoletto and his local studios, stunning museum, and school designed to center conversation, collaboration, and sustainability. I am in awe of Michaelangelou’s brilliant daughter, who organizes an organic farmer’s market in this city of art weekly. The food grown by the local vendors, the vegetables, herbs, butter, yogurt and local meat were all featured in the Persian/Iranian feast we created to share our thanks with our various hosts and new friends. The scraps from our delicious breakfasts and shared feast are now the first layer in the vermicompost box, starting the decomposition process to help regenerate and create new life-giving soil, the place where gardens really begin.

Vincent Waring @vinwaring and I are returning from an Artist Residency in Italy, where we came across many blessed inspirations and moving community conversations. We learned about just some of the many special everyday details of this place, which moved us to create a new body of work titled, The Source. The Source can be, the ten thousand different names of God, the Universe, the Giver of Life, or for us, another name for the Earth whose essence and gifts nourish and sustain our tenuous lives. Our hearts and minds were in awe of the freshwater springs located throughout the village, where snowmelt ran from the foot of the alps into the life giving fountains that the people drink from. This spring, the river, the clouds, the stunning Chestnut trees covering lush green hilltops, with their thorny vessels and sweet and starchy seeds that sustained Nazi resisters who hid deep in the forest not too long ago, were all profound inspirations for the elements we chose to illuminate. Throughout this process, we had the utmost joy of connecting with kindred soul Victoria Chapman, Artist, Curator, and Residency Liason @vc_projects who introduced us to us to very lovely Artist and Residency Founder and Host extraordinaire Mikelle Standbridge @l.mikellestandbridge As Artists, we purchased the most affordable one way tickets we could find. We could only carry 4kg of luggage with us, so we travelled very light. Once there, we purchased HB pencils from the discount grocery store, found charcoal from an old cookout, and worked with small pieces of paper from Casa Regis that we assembled together with tape to create larger canvases to work on. We cut our canvases into archways, in response to and in conversation with the architectural details we admired so much throughout the region, lending a holy and sacred, altar-like feel as we engaged in conversations with place. We are grateful to have both created and shared our work during an intimate art opening at Casa Regis, Center for Culture and Contemporary Art, Italy.
